[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 7/7][v4] SI_TKILL: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid ns boundary

Subject: [RFC][PATCH 7/7][v4] SI_TKILL: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid ns boundary

When sending a signal to a process in a descendant namespace, ->si_pid
must be set to the pid of sender in receiver's namespace. But if the
receiver is exiting (theoretically, ns == NULL), just set ->si_pid to
active pid namespace of sender (receiver won't see the signal anyway ?).
