Fix: kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_peek_siginfo() missing __put_user() validation
This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into
kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user()
fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.
Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.
