signal/m68k: Use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) in fpsp040_die

In the fpsp040 code when copyin or copyout fails call
force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of do_exit(SIGSEGV).

This solves a couple of problems.  Because do_exit embeds the ptrace
stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT a complete stack frame needs to be present for
that to work correctly.  There is always the information needed for a
ptrace stop where get_signal is called.  So exiting with a signal
solves the ptrace issue.

Further exiting with a signal ensures that all of the threads in a
process are killed not just the thread that malfunctioned.  Which
avoids confusing userspace.

To make force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) work in fpsp040_die modify the code to
save all of the registers and jump to ret_from_exception (which
ultimately calls get_signal) after fpsp040_die returns.

v2: Updated the branches to use gas's pseudo ops that automatically
    calculate the best branch instruction to use for the purpose.
