signal/sh: Use force_sig(SIGKILL) instead of do_group_exit(SIGKILL)
Today the sh code allocates memory the first time a process uses the fpu. If that memory allocation fails, kill the affected task with force_sig(SIGKILL) rather than do_group_exit(SIGKILL). Calling do_group_exit from an exception handler can potentially lead to dead locks as do_group_exit is not designed to be called from interrupt context. Instead use force_sig(SIGKILL) to kill the userspace process. Sending signals in general and force_sig in particular has been tested from interrupt context so there should be no problems.
