Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] signal: support CLONE_PIDFD with pidfd_send_signal

Let pidfd_send_signal() use pidfds retrieved via CLONE_PIDFD.  With this
patch pidfd_send_signal() becomes independent of procfs.  This fullfils
the request made when we merged the pidfd_send_signal() patchset.  The
pidfd_send_signal() syscall is now always available allowing for it to
be used by users without procfs mounted or even users without procfs
support compiled into the kernel.

/* changelog */
v1: patch unchanged
v2:
- Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>:
  - split s/fdget_raw()/fdget()/ into separate patch as it has nothing to
    do with supporting CLONE_PIDFD
v3:
- Christian Brauner <christian@...uner.io>:
  - Linus has applied the s/fdget_raw()/fdget()/ patch right away so the
    patch is gone from the series
