x86/mpx: Correctly report do_mpx_bt_fault() failures to user-space

commit 5ed386ec upstream.

When this function fails it just sends a SIGSEGV signal to
user-space using force_sig(). This signal is missing
essential information about the cause, e.g. the trap_nr or
an error code.

Fix this by propagating the error to the only caller of
mpx_handle_bd_fault(), do_bounds(), which sends the correct
SIGSEGV signal to the process.
