Previously, higher 32 bits of exit_signal fields were lost when copied to the kernel args structure (that uses int as a type for the respective field). Fail with EINVAL if these are set as it looks like there's no sane reason to accept them.
* kernel/fork.c (copy_clone_args_from_user): Fail with -EINVAL if args.exit_signal converted to unsigned int is not equal to the original value.
