Subject[PATCH 2/4] signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_ns
Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser(). From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO
triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check.

This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal)
behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the
cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs
to the sub-namespace.

This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and
kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace
with "priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them
correctly, including disassociate_ctty(on_exit).

Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly
use send_sig(priv => 0). But his is minor and should be fixed
anyway.
