[PATCH] kill sig -1 must only apply to callers namespace

Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the
isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this is discussed at:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148

but nothing seems to have happened since then.

This patch uses the simple fix suggested by Oleg Nesterov.
