signal/arm64: Use force_sig not force_sig_fault for SIGKILL
I don't think this is userspace visible but SIGKILL does not have any si_codes that use the fault member of the siginfo union. Correct this the simple way and call force_sig instead of force_sig_fault when the signal is SIGKILL. The two know places where synchronous SIGKILL are generated are do_bad_area and fpsimd_save. The call paths to force_sig_fault are: do_bad_area arm64_force_sig_fault force_sig_fault force_signal_inject arm64_notify_die arm64_force_sig_fault force_sig_fault Which means correcting this in arm64_force_sig_fault is enough to ensure the arm64 code is not misusing the generic code, which could lead to maintenance problems later.
