It's result of these qemu patches:
fbe7e3327a8cfa1b08664c2cda7a0a341cf0530a
7dc9ae4339faa97e89daadb2e1098147ab4aadc8
Whenever qemu receives a signal it reports PID that sent it.
Thanks a lot for investigating!

ACK and safe for the freeze.

(I've seen this denial for a while but did not notice any problem it
would cause, so I was wondering if we should allow this operation or
just ignore the denial & silence the logs. Now that we understand what
it is about, I agree we should allow it. Denying this access would
make it harder to debug issues in the future e.g. if QEMU ever starts
needing it for other, more critical reasons.)
Cheers,
