Subject[PATCH 1/2] signals: kill(-1) should only signal processes in the same namespace
While moving Linux-VServer to using pid namespaces, I noticed that
kill(-1) from inside a pid namespace is currently signalling every
process in the entire system, including processes that are otherwise
unreachable from the current process.

This patch fixes it by making sure that only processes which are in
the same pid namespace as current get signalled.
