Commit f4e1168198 (linux-user: Split out host_sig{segv,bus}_handler)
introduced a bug, when returning from host_sigbus_handler the PC is
never set. Thus cpu_loop_exit_restore is called with a zero PC and
we immediate get a SIGSEGV.

Do we have the same problem for SEGV? They both used to set
pc = host_signal_pc(uc);
but with this it's only SIGBUS. Maybe the same for the others, so just
something like

if (info->si_code > 0) {

+
switch (host_sig) {
case SIGSEGV:

as it just does the PC chasing for everyone?

Yea, it's not easy to follow the different paths... this code needs
another refactor, I was tempted but refrained myself.
So in the switch state if we have SEGV (and si_code>0) we always long
jump or return.
Only SIGBUS sets sync_sig to true, and thus calls
cpu_loop_exit_restore, hence needs a PC.
But the comment makes you think it's for multiple signals.

Only those (SIGBUS) setting sync_sig need a PC.

The sneaky return below.
Let me know if you still think setting the PC before the switch
statement is better.
