Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kill_pid_info_as_uid: don't use security_task_kill()

kill_pid_info_as_uid() is solely used by drivers/usb/core/. The original
"[PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completion" commit
46113830a18847cff8da73005e57bc49c2f95a56 was right, but nowadays we use
struct pid and this solves most of the addressed problems.

It would be nice to use kill_pid_info() instead, but we can't because USB
uses .si_code = SI_ASYNCIO which fools SI_FROMUSER() and thus security checks.

I think we should omit the permission checks completely, the task which does
ioctl(USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB) explicitly asks to send the signal to it, we should
not deny the signal even if the task changes its credentials in any way.

For now, we can remove security_task_kill(). It is bogus, the signal has come
from kernel.
