Subject: [PATCH RESEND] kvm: Fix nonsense handling of compat ioctl

From: Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com>

KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK passed a NULL argument leaves the on stack signal
sets uninitialized. It then passes them through to
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_set_sigmask.

We should be passing a NULL in this case not translated garbage.
