signal: Ensure SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT gets set in do_group_exit
The function do_group_exit has an optimization that avoids taking siglock and doing the work to find other threads in the signal group and shutting them down. It is very desirable for SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT to always been set whenever it is decided for the process to exit. That ensures only a single place needs to be tested, and a single bit of state needs to be looked at. This makes the optimization in do_group_exit counter productive. Make the code and maintenance simpler by removing this unnecessary option. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
