signals: protect cinit from blocked fatal signals

Browse source 
Normally SIG_DFL signals to global and container-init are dropped early.
But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal
since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal.
Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way
of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant
namespace.  This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL
signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are
never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch).

If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued
and container-init processes the signal.

IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global
or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must
have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal.

Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a
multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit()
or exec().  But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL,
the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed.

Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for
container-inits.
