No...

Given that userspace requests AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO after it gets a signal,
and that audit_sig_{uid,pid,...} get filled in when some task sent
auditd that signal, the idea that the pid would be 0 doesn't make
sense... (unless auditd requests AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO without getting a
signal, but that's just dumb)
