sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()
Change send_sig_all() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.
And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread,
while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kill the whole process.
Some more notes from Oleg Nesterov:
> Just one note. This change makes no difference for sysrq_handle_kill().
> But it obviously changes the behaviour sysrq_handle_term(). I think

Also,

So, this patch fixes the issue.
