  ksig->ka and ksig->info are not initialized if get_signal() returns 0 or
if the caller is PF_USER_WORKER.

Check signr != 0 before SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS and move the "out" label down.

The latter means that ksig->sig won't be initialized if a PF_USER_WORKER
thread gets a fatal signal but this is fine, PF_USER_WORKER's don't use
ksig. And there is nothing new, in this case ksig->ka and ksig-info are
not initialized anyway. Add a comment.
