Subject: [PATCH 2/2] erts: Fix parallel signal optimization

When the parallel signal optimization was enabled and signals were
sent without a known sender (e.g. a monitor-by-name firing), they
always landed in signal slot 0, which was rarely the same slot as
messages sent from the same process, breaking our signal order
guarantees.

This commit fixes that by always keeping track of the sender
regardless of how and where signal are sent.
