signals: allow the kernel to actually kill /sbin/init
Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens. The kernel sends the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats the faulting instruction, and so on forever. Imho, such a behaviour is not good. I think that the explicit loud death of the buggy /sbin/init is better than the silent hang. Change force_sig_info() to clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE when the task should be really killed.
