Subject: kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Hi,

This crash can be triggered by executing the C reproducer for
multiple times, which just keep loading the following prog as
raw tracepoint into kmem_cache_free().

The prog send SIGSEGV to current via bpf_send_signal_thread(),
after load this, whoever tries to free mem would trigger this,
kernel crashed when this happens to init. 

Seems we should filter init out in bpf_send_signal_common() by
is_global_init(current), or maybe we should check this in the
verifier?

This can be reproduced on:
