[ Upstream commit ce0ee4e6ac99606f3945f4d47775544edc3f7985 ]

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.
