signals: send_signal: use si_fromuser() to detect from_ancestor_ns
Change send_signal() to use si_fromuser(). From now SEND_SIG_NOINFO triggers the "from_ancestor_ns" check. This fixes reparent_thread()->group_send_sig_info(pdeath_signal) behaviour, before this patch send_signal() does not detect the cross-namespace case when the child of the dying parent belongs to the sub-namespace. This patch can affect the behaviour of send_sig(), kill_pgrp() and kill_pid() when the caller sends the signal to the sub-namespace with "priv == 0" but surprisingly all callers seem to use them correctly, including disassociate_ctty(on_exit). Except: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/*.c incorrectly use send_sig(priv => 0). But his is minor and should be fixed anyway.
