My recent patch to split pt_regs between user and kernel missed the usage in struct sigcontext.
Because this is a user visible struct it should be using the user visible definition, which when we're building for the kernel is called struct user_pt_regs. As far as I can see this hasn't actually caused a bug (yet), because we don't use the sizeof() the sigcontext->regs anywhere. But we should still fix it to avoid confusion and future bugs.
