signals: send_sigio: use do_send_sig_info() to avoid check_kill_permission()

group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the
sender and uses current_cred().

This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case.  From the security pov the
sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why
we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check.

Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or
SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing.  But
still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a
couple of cycles.
