Eric W. Biederman 00b06da29c signal: Add SA_IMMUTABLE to ensure forced siganls do not get changed
As Andy pointed out that there are races between
force_sig_info_to_task and sigaction[1] when force_sig_info_task.  As
Kees discovered[2] ptrace is also able to change these signals.

In the case of seeccomp killing a process with a signal it is a
security violation to allow the signal to be caught or manipulated.

Solve this problem by introducing a new flag SA_IMMUTABLE that
prevents sigaction and ptrace from modifying these forced signals.
This flag is carefully made kernel internal so that no new ABI is
introduced.

Longer term I think this can be solved by guaranteeing short circuit
delivery of signals in this case.  Unfortunately reliable and
guaranteed short circuit delivery of these signals is still a ways off
from being implemented, tested, and merged.  So I have implemented a much
simpler alternative for now.
