commit 83a1f27ad773b1d8f0460d3a676114c7651918cc upstream.

If the register state may be partial and corrupted instead of calling
do_exit, call force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV).  Which properly kills the
process with SIGSEGV and does not let any more userspace code execute,
instead of just killing one thread of the process and potentially
confusing everything.
