Subject: [PATCH 3/6][v5] Define siginfo_from_ancestor_ns()

Determine if sender of a signal is from an ancestor namespace. This
function will be used in a follow-on patch.

This is based on discussions on the patch from Oleg Nesterov and me
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/25/462.

Changelog[v5]:
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Put siginfo_from_ancestor_ns() back under
	  CONFIG_PID_NS.
	- (Oleg Nesterov) Remove the warning in rt_sigqueueinfo().

Changelog[v4]:
	- siginfo_from_ancestor_ns() is fairly clean and it does not need
	  to be under CONFIG_PID_NS. Only siginfo_from_user() needs to be.
	- Warn if rt_sigqueueinfo() uses SI_ASYNCIO.
	- Added a check for pid-ns of receiver being NULL (in case it is
	  exiting).
