The __send_signal has been renamed to __send_signal_locked,
after the following commit:
'commit 157cc18122b4 ("signal: Rename send_signal send_signal_locked")'
But some comments have not been modified along with the
code, so they need to be updated. This will help readers
better understand the code.

Thanks, but I think that today this comment looks confusing either way. It was added by 61e713bdca3678 along with this - __group_send_sig_info(sig, &info, tsk->parent); + __send_signal(sig, &info, tsk->parent, PIDTYPE_TGID, false); change. To me this comment looks outdated, perhaps it would be better to simply remove it? Or it should be updated to explain that we use __send_signal_locked() instead of send_signal_locked() because the latter can wrongly change si_pid/si_uid... Oleg.
