Commit 8b401f9ed244 ("bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper")
added helper bpf_send_signal() which permits bpf program to
send a signal to the current process.

This patch implemented a new helper bpf_send_signal_thread()
to send a signal to the current thread. This helper can simplify
user space code if the thread context of bpf sending signal
is needed in user space. Please see Patch #1 for details of
use case and kernel implementation.

Patch #2 added some bpf self tests for the new helper.

  bpf: add bpf_send_signal_thread() helper
  tools/bpf: add a selftest for bpf_send_signal_thread()
