Subject: [REVIEW][PATCH 1/2] signal/arc: Push siginfo generation into unhandled_exception

Pass signr, sicode, and address into unhandled_exception as explicit
parameters instead of members of struct siginfo.  Then in unhandled
exception generate and send the siginfo using force_sig_fault.

This keeps the code simpler and less error prone.
