After looking a bit more, I really think the __SI_CHLD case just needs to
always be converted at the callers (i.e. do_notify_parent).

This can be done like this, but if this is going to be the only case of
a SI_FROMKERNEL not being converted at the caller, and there is aiui only
one caller (__do_notivy in ipc/mmqueue.c), it seems better to just have
fixup_uid() always return for SI_FROMKERNEL(info).

Does that sound ok?

If so, I'll whip up the patch and send it out after some testing.  (If
not, I'll try to better understand :)
