Subject: [RFC][PATCH][v2] SEND_SIG_NOINFO: Masquerade si_pid when crossing
	pid-ns boundary

Subject: [PATCH] SEND_SIG_NOINFO: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid-ns boundary

For SEND_SIG_NOINFO, si_pid is currently set to the pid of sender
in sender's active pid namespace. But if the receiver is in a
different namespace, that given pid number would be incorrect.
Eg: when parent sends the 'pdeath_signal' to a child that is in
a descendant pid namespace, we should set si_pid 0.

Changelog[v2]
	- Moved change from task_pid() to task_tgid() to separate patch
