    signalfd: make it group-wide, fix posix-timers scheduling · b0f4f52c

    With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
    even if it was created by another sub-thread.
    
    To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
    thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
    previous patch.
    
    If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
    case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
    and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.
