Again, I do not understand why do we need SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE_FROM_NS.

I thought about the change in get_signal_to_deliver() during the
previous discussion, and I think what we need is:

if (unlikely(signal->flags & SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE) &&
!sig_kernel_only(sig))
continue;

and this was yet another reason for "protect init from unwanted signals more".

Because, if we see SIGKILL/SIGSTOP here, this means that the signal
was sent from the parent ns, or it was generated "internally", for
example by sys_exit_group().
