signals: add from_ancestor_ns parameter to send_signal()

Browse source 
send_signal() (or its helper) needs to determine the pid namespace of the
sender.  But a signal sent via kill_pid_info_as_uid() comes from within
the kernel and send_signal() does not need to determine the pid namespace
of the sender.  So define a helper for send_signal() which takes an
additional parameter, 'from_ancestor_ns' and have kill_pid_info_as_uid()
use that helper directly.

The 'from_ancestor_ns' parameter will be used in a follow-on patch.
