The comment about not using the cached TID from the TCB was lost.
I suggest to add this comment to the implementation here.

Is the change from tgkill to tkill safe from a seccomp filters
perspective?  The manual page says: “Avoid using this system call.”
At the very least, you should mention this change in the commit message.

Thanks,
Florian
