pidfd: allow to override signal scope in pidfd_send_signal()
Right now we determine the scope of the signal based on the type of pidfd. There are use-cases where it's useful to override the scope of the signal. For example in [1]. Add flags to determine the scope of the signal: (1) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD: send signal to specific thread reference by @pidfd (2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP: send signal to thread-group of @pidfd (2) PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP: send signal to process-group of @pidfd Since we now allow specifying PIDFD_SEND_PROCESS_GROUP for pidfd_send_signal() to send signals to process groups we need to adjust the check restricting si_code emulation by userspace to account for PIDTYPE_PGID.
