Subject: [PATCH] prctl: add PR_[GS]ET_PDEATHSIG_PROC

PR_SET_PDEATHSIG sets a parent death signal that the calling process
will get when its parent thread dies, even when the result of getppid()
doesn't change because the calling process is reparented to a different
thread in the same parent process. When managing multiple processes, a
process-based parent death signal is much more useful. E.g., to avoid
stray child processes.

PR_SET_PDEATHSIG_PROC sets a process-based death signal. Unlike
PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, this is inherited across fork to allow killing a whole
subtree without race conditions.

This can be used for sandboxing when combined with a seccomp filter.

There have been previous attempts to support this by changing the
behavior of PR_SET_PDEATHSIG. However, that would break existing
applications. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117621804801689
and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43300
