[ Upstream commit a3d81bc1eaef48e34dd0b9b48eefed9e02a06451 ]

The following kernel panic can be triggered when a task with pid=1 attaches
a prog that attempts to send killing signal to itself, also see [1] for more
details:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
  CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 6.1.0-09652-g59fe41b5255f #148
  Call Trace:
  <TASK>

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd

So skip task with pid=1 in bpf_send_signal_common() to avoid the panic.
