Fix force_sig_info() semantics after cleanups

Suresh points out that commit b0423a0d
broke the semantics of a synchronous signal like SIGSEGV occurring
recursively inside its own handler handler (or, indeed, any other
context when the signal was blocked).

That was unintentional, and this fixes things up by reinstating the old
semantics, but without reverting the cleanups.
