5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bradley Morgan <redacted>

commit d19cdc167e696714509e87d3f7ae765b6e164589 upstream.

send_signal_locked() rewrites sender ids for the target namespace.  Group
sends reuse the same siginfo, so one recipient can affect the next.

Copy the siginfo before changing it.
