Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] nohz: cpu_isolated strict mode configurable signal

Allow userspace to override the default SIGKILL delivered
when a cpu_isolated process in STRICT mode does a syscall
or otherwise synchronously enters the kernel.

In addition to being able to set the signal, we now also
pass whether or not the interruption was from a syscall in
the si_code field of the siginfo.
