userns: allow killing tasks in your own or child userns
Changelog: Dec 8: Fixed bug in my check_kill_permission pointed out by Eric Biederman. Dec 13: Apply Eric's suggestion to pass target task into kill_ok_by_cred() for clarity Dec 31: address comment by Eric Biederman: don't need cred/tcred in check_kill_permission. Jan 1: use const cred struct. Jan 11: Per Bastian Blank's advice, clean up kill_ok_by_cred(). Feb 16: kill_ok_by_cred: fix bad parentheses Feb 23: per akpm, let compiler inline kill_ok_by_cred Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.
