Subject: [PATCH v2] arch: tile: kernel: signal.c: Use __copy_from/to_user()
 instead of __get/put_user()

setup/restore_sigcontext() want to copy all related registers between
user and kernel. So use block copy instead of each registers copy. Then
can let code simple and clearer (which can avoid compiler's warning):

The related warning (with allmodconfig under tile):
