OK, but then we need "force" in other places too. __do_SAK() does send_sig(SIGKILL)
in do_each_pid_task(PIDTYPE_SID) and if signal->tty == tty.

Plus force_sig() is not rcu-friendly.

So I personally agree with this change. Whether we want to kill the global init
or not should be discussed, if we want to do this __do_SAK() should use
SEND_SIG_FORCED and this is what Kirill is going to do (iiuc), but this needs
another patch.

Oleg.
