prints can delay queuing of signal, so better to print
after force_sig_info.

Let's say process generated SIGSEGV , and some other thread sends
SIGKILL to crashing process and it gets queued before SIGSEGV becuase
of little delay due to prints so in this case coredump might not generate.

In any case, that's going to be a race - you can't predict exactly when
the "other thread" will send the SIGKILL in relation to the SIGSEGV.

So, I don't see the point of this change.

This is unreadable.  Sorry.
