exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure

Browse Source 
Use force_fatal_sig instead of calling do_exit directly.  This ensures
the ordinary signal handling path gets invoked, core dumps as
appropriate get created, and for multi-threaded processes all of the
threads are terminated not just a single thread.

If at some point it becomes interesting we could relax
"force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV)" to instead say
"force_sig_fault(SIGSEGV, SEGV_MAPERR, sd->selector)".

I avoid doing that in this patch to avoid making it possible
to catch currently uncatchable signals.
