So I guess this version doesn't really differ from v14 I tried to review...
(yes, iirc my review wasn't really good, sorry).

Perhaps I am wrong, but I still think we need another approach. de_thread()
should not wait until all sub-threads are reaped, it should drop cred_guard_mutex
earlier.

I mean, something like

	[PATCH V2 1/2] exec: don't wait for zombie threads with cred_guard_mutex held
	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20170213180454.GA2858@redhat.com/

which is hopelessly outdated now.

Again, perhaps I am wrong. I'll try to take another look next week.

Oleg.
