uml: kernel segfaults should dump proper registers
If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or the last userspace registers. sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to be non-fatal. The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy data out of the SEGV stack frame.
