tgkill is a quite old syscall since kernel 2.5.75, but unfortunately glibc
doesn't support it before 2.30. Thus some systems fail to compile the
latest UserMode Linux.
Here is the compile error I encountered when I tried to compile UML in
my system shipped with glibc-2.28.

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Fix it by Replacing glibc call with raw syscall.
