signals: check_kill_permission: check session under tasklist_lock
This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out
check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr(). I missed
this fact when removed tasklist from the callers.
Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case.
Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is
actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed
later.
Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr().
Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the
whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).
