kpsendsig() seems to receive the returnmask as a pointer to the LWP's
sigmask sigset. If kpsendsig is to call sendsig_reset(), it must make
a copy of that sigset before calling sendsig_reset(), and pass that
copy to the delivery routine, in order to avoid (for all emulations,
then) problem fixed in compat/linux32/arch/amd64/linux32_machdep.c
