From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/7][v4] Protect cinit from unblocked SIG_DFL signals

Drop early any SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN signals to container-init from within
the same container. But queue SIGSTOP and SIGKILL to the container-init
if they are from an ancestor container.

Blocked, fatal signals (i.e when SIG_DFL is to terminate) from within the
container can still terminate the container-init. That will be addressed
in the next patch.

Note:	To be bisect-safe, SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will be set for container-inits
   	in a follow-on patch. Until then, this patch is just a preparatory
	setp.

Changelog[v2]:
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Remove SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE_FROM_NS and rename
	  'same_ns' to 'from_ancestor_ns'.
	- SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE is not yet set for container-inits (will be
	  set in follow-on patch).
