signal/cifs: Fix cifs_put_tcp_session to call send_sig instead of force_sig
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864773 [ Upstream commit 72abe3bc ] The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with a task that exits or execs (as sighand may change). The is not a locking problem in force_sig as force_sig is only built to handle synchronous exceptions. Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the delivery of the signal. The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being delivered. So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is confusing and pointless. Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig.
