Oleg Nesterov 614c517d7c signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should be considered as SI_FROMUSER()
No changes in compiled code. The patch adds the new helper, si_fromuser()
and changes check_kill_permission() to use this helper.

The real effect of this patch is that from now we "officially" consider
SEND_SIG_NOINFO signal as "from user-space" signals. This is already true
if we look at the code which uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO, except __send_signal()
has another opinion - see the next patch.

The naming of these special SEND_SIG_XXX siginfo's is really bad
imho.  From __send_signal()'s pov they mean

	SEND_SIG_NOINFO		from user
	SEND_SIG_PRIV		from kernel
	SEND_SIG_FORCED		no info
