[CRIU] [PATCH 1/4] signal: allow to send any siginfo to itself

[Andrey Vagin]

A kernel prevents of sending sifinfo with positive si_code, because
these codes is reserved for kernel. I think we can allow to send any
siginfo to itself. This operation should not be dangerous.

This functionality is required for restoring signals.
