Merge branch 'exit-cleanups-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "In preparation of doing something about PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT I have
  started cleaning up various pieces of code related to do_exit. Most of
  that code I did not manage to get tested and reviewed before the merge
  window opened but a handful of very useful cleanups are ready to be
  merged.

  The first change is simply the removal of the bdflush system call. The
  code has now been disabled long enough that even the oldest userspace
  working userspace setups anyone can find to test are fine with the
  bdflush system call being removed.

  Changing m68k fsp040_die to use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of
  calling do_exit directly is interesting only in that it is nearly the
  most difficult of the incorrect uses of do_exit to remove.

  The change to the seccomp code to simply send a signal instead of
  calling do_coredump directly is a very nice little cleanup made
  possible by realizing the existing signal sending helpers were missing
  a little bit of functionality that is easy to provide"
