Subject: [PATCH 4/7][v8] Protect cinit from unblocked SIG_DFL signals

Subject: [PATCH 4/7][v8] 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
	step.

Changelog[v7]:
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Bugfix: send_sigqueue() should use from_ancestor_ns=0
	- siginfo_from_user(), siginfo_from_ancestor_ns() are needed in only
	  one place.  Remove them and move their logic into send_signal().
	  Seems to make code more easier to read :-)

Changelog[v6]:
	- (Roland McGrath) Remove unnecessary helper signal_task_unkillable()
	  and fold checks into sig_task_ignored().

Changelog[v4]:
	- (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).
