SEND_SIG_NOINFO: set si_pid to tgid instead of pid
POSIX requires the si_pid to be the process id of the sender, so ->si_pid
should really be set to 'tgid'. This change does have following changes
in behavior:
- When sending pdeath_signal on re-parent to a sub-thread, ->si_pid
cannot be used to identify the thread that did the re-parent since
it will now show the tgid instead of thread id.
- A multi-threaded application that expects to find the specific
thread that encountered a SIGPIPE using the ->si_pid will now
break.
