signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user
The bounds checks in known_siginfo_layout only guards against positive numbers that are too large, large negative can slip through and can cause out of bounds accesses. Ordinarily this is not a concern because early in signal processing the signal number is filtered with valid_signal which ensures it is a small positive signal number, but copy_siginfo_from_user is called before this check is performed.

All valid signal numbers are small positive numbers so they will not be affected, but invalid negative signal numbers will now become large positive signal numbers and will not be used as indices into the sig_sicodes array. Making the signal number unsigned makes it difficult for similar mistakes to happen in the future.
