send_signal() assumes that signals with SEND_SIG_PRIV are generated from
within the same namespace.  So any nested container-init processes become
immune to the SIGKILL generated by kill_proc_info() in
zap_pid_ns_processes().

Use force_sig() in zap_pid_ns_processes() instead - force_sig() clears the
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag ensuring the signal is processed by
container-inits.
