Oleg,

I tried to address most of your comments from the earlier version.

Subject: [PATCH] Define/use siginfo_from_ancestor_ns()

Container-init must appear like 'global-init' to processes within the
container and hence it must be immune to fatal signals from within the
container.  But container-init should appear like a normal process  to
processes in ancestor namespaces and so if same fatal signal is sent
by a process in parent namespace, the container-init must terminate.

There have been several attempts to meet these conflicting requirements
This patch (tries to) implement the approach suggested recently by Oleg
Nesterov.

Changelog[v2]:
	- Have sig_ignored() ignore unblocked SIG_DFL signals to container-init
	- Use the new SIG_FROM_USER flag and sender's namespace to clear
	  si_pid for signals crossing namespaces.
	- Move setting of SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from copy_process() to copy_signal()
	- Clear si_pid in sys_rt_sigqueueinfo() when signalling processes in
	  descendant namespaces

Touch tested, but this is just a quick patch and has known issues.

TODO:
	- Move this new code under #ifdef CONFIG_PID_NS
	- Need additional checks for stopped/traced processes.
	- With 'si_pid = 0' sys_rt_sigqueueinfo() can still terminate own init.
	- Clear ->si_pid in other namespace-crossing cases including: F_SETSIG,
	  __do_notify(), etc
