[RFC][PATCH] Define/use siginfo_from_ancestor_ns

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev-23VcF4HTsmIX0ybBhKVfKdBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org>]

Quick patch implementing Oleg's suggestion. Touch tested and seems
to work fine in preventing container-init from being terminated from within
namespace.

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.

Touch tested, but this is just a quick patch with couple of known issues.

TODO:
	- We need additional checks for stopped/traced processes.
	- If fatal signal is simultaneously received from descendant and
	  ancestor namespaces (in that order), the signal from ancestor
	  maybe ignored
	- sys_rt_sigqueueinfo() will fail if user-space sets si_pid to 0.
