I wonder now whether such a wrap shouldn't also be around cgroup_kill()
too (+ replacement of send_sig() with group_send_sig_info() [1])?

This shouldn't break the use case of passing cgroup kill fd to a less
privileged task for (auto)destruction purposes but on the other hand it
would prevent subverting the fd to a more privileged confused task to
kill otherwise disallowed processes.

Thanks,
Michal
