    signal/alpha: Use send_sig_fault where appropriate · 5f50245b

    Filling in struct siginfo before calling send_sig_info a tedious and
    error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
    are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.
    
    Simplify this process by using the helper send_sig_fault.  Which
    takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
    all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
    and then calls send_sig_info.
    
    In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time send_sig_info
    is called, which makes the calling function clearer.
