Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 112/167] ARC: mm: fix uninitialised signal code in do_page_fault

From: Eugeniy Paltsev <Eugeniy.Paltsev@...opsys.com>

[ Upstream commit 121e38e5acdc8e1e4cdb750fcdcc72f94e420968 ]

Commit 15773ae938d8 ("signal/arc: Use force_sig_fault where
appropriate") introduced undefined behaviour by leaving si_code
unitiailized and leaking random kernel values to user space.

Fixes: 15773ae938d8 ("signal/arc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate")
