Subject: [PATCH] ipc/mqueue.c: change __do_notify() to bypass
 check_kill_permission()

Commit cc731525f26a ("signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic")
changed the value of SI_FROMUSER(SI_MESGQ), this means that mq_notify() no
longer works if the sender doesn't have rights to send a signal.

Change __do_notify() to use do_send_sig_info() instead of kill_pid_info()
to avoid check_kill_permission().

This needs the additional notify.sigev_signo != 0 check, shouldn't we
change do_mq_notify() to deny sigev_signo == 0 ?

Test-case:

	#include <signal.h>
	#include <mqueue.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	static int notified;

	static void sigh(int sig)
	{
		notified = 1;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		signal(SIGIO, sigh);

		int fd = mq_open("/mq", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666, NULL);
		assert(fd >= 0);

		struct sigevent se = {
			.sigev_notify	= SIGEV_SIGNAL,
			.sigev_signo	= SIGIO,
		};
		assert(mq_notify(fd, &se) == 0);

		if (!fork()) {
			assert(setuid(1) == 0);
			mq_send(fd, "",1,0);
			return 0;
		}

		wait(NULL);
		mq_unlink("/mq");
		assert(notified);
		return 0;
	}

[manfred@colorfullife.com: 1) Add self_exec_id evaluation so that the implementation matches do_notify_parent 2) use PIDTYPE_TGID everywhere]
