[patch 07/28] signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timersscheduling

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.

To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.

If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.
