Subject: [PATCH 7/7][v8] SI_USER: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid ns

Subject: [PATCH 7/7][v8] SI_USER: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid ns boundary

When sending a signal to a descendant namespace, set ->si_pid to 0 since
the sender does not have a pid in the receiver's namespace.

Note:
	- If rt_sigqueueinfo() sets si_code to SI_USER when sending a
	  signal across a pid namespace boundary, the value in ->si_pid
	  will be cleared to 0.

Changelog[v5]:
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Address both sys_kill() and sys_tkill() cases
	  in send_signal() to simplify code (this drops patch 7/7 from
	  earlier version of patchset).
