exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure
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.

The > first prototype of SUD was implemented as a seccomp mode. 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.
