[RFC][PATCH v2 5/5] signal: Don't allow accessing signal_struct by old threads after exec

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

Add exec_id to signal_struct and compare it at a few choice moments.

I believe this closes the security holes that letting the zombie
threads linger after exec opens up.

The problem is that old threads may have different creds after a setuid
exec, and then formerly shared resources may change.  So signal sending
and accesses by proc need to be blocked.
