David Howells 694f690d27 CRED: Fix RCU warning due to previous patch fixing __task_cred()'s checks ...

Commit 8f92054e7c ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner
comment") fixed the lockdep checks on __task_cred().  This has shown up
a place in the signalling code where a lock should be held - namely that
check_kill_permission() requires its callers to hold the RCU lock.

Fix group_send_sig_info() to get the RCU read lock around its call to
check_kill_permission().

Without this patch, the following warning can occur:

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  kernel/signal.c:660 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
