Note that send_sigio()->do_each_pid_task(type) must use the valid
type < PIDTYPE_MAX, or we can crash/etc.

This means f_setown_ex() should be careful with the wrong owner->type,
the switch() above needs

	default:
		return -EINVAL;

Perhaps it makes sense to return -ESRCH if owner.pid && !pid, not
sure.

And send_sigurg() needs the same change. I am not sure we should teach
send_sigurg_to_task() to handle the F_OWNER_TID, but we must ensure
send_sigurg()->do_each_pid_task() won't be called with PIDTYPE_MAX.


Otherwise, personally I think this is what we need to solve the problem.
