signal/s390: Use force_sigsegv in default_trap_handler
Reading the history it is unclear why default_trap_handler calls do_exit. It is not even menthioned in the commit where the change happened. My best guess is that because it is unknown why the exception happened it was desired to guarantee the process never returned to userspace. Using do_exit(SIGSEGV) has the problem that it will only terminate one thread of a process, leaving the process in an undefined state. Use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead which effectively has the same behavior except that is uses the ordinary signal mechanism and terminates all threads of a process and is generally well defined.
