if ns == 0, "p" won't see the signal anyway, so all we need is

	-	info.si_pid = task_tgid_vnr(current);
	+	info.si_pid = task_tgid_nr_ns(current, task_active_ns(p));

like we do in __do_notify().


But. this of course doesn't work for sys_kill(). Can't we change the helpers
which send SI_FROMUSER() signals so that they do not fill .si_pid at all?
Then send_signal() can do:

	default:
		copy_siginfo(&q->info, info);
		info.si_pid = 0;
		if (!from_ancestot_ns)
			info.si_pid = task_tgid_nr_ns(current, ...);

?

Yes, we use "current". But we already used it in siginfo_from_ancestor_ns().

Oleg.
