Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals
being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added.

Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect to be
able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when the target
process is not configured to handle those signals.

Update force_sig_to_task to support both the case when we can allow
the debugger to intercept and possibly ignore the signal and the case
when it is not safe to let userspace know about the signal until the
process has exited.
