vm: make stack guard page errors return VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV rather than SIGBUS
The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS
rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit
fee7e49d45
("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard
page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any
normal situations.
Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
that resulted. So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
let's not wait for any of those to break.
