I was trying to avoid the clearing of the SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE in
send_signal() that we had last time.

But yes, you are right. I even had a BUG_ON() to confirm SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
will never happen for global-init :-). If so, SIGKLL/SIGSTOP to an init
can come only from parent ns.

So, yes, we can drop this flag.
