signals: SI_USER: Masquerade si_pid when crossing pid ns boundary

When sending a signal to a descendant namespace, set ->si_pid to 0 since
the sender does not have a pid in the receiver's namespace.

Note:
	- If rt_sigqueueinfo() sets si_code to SI_USER when sending a
	  signal across a pid namespace boundary, the value in ->si_pid
	  will be cleared to 0.
