Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo 

Commit da48524eb2 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo
from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict.
There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a
negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE:

 - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants
   to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel
   causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo()
   fails with EPERM.

 - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a()
   wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define).
   The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER.

As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to
forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.
