[RFC PATCH 3/3] ptrace: ensure PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT won't stop if the tracee is killed by exec

[Oleg Nesterov]

The previous patch fixed the deadlock when mt-exec waits for debugger
which should reap a zombie thread, but we can hit the same problem if
the killed sub-thread stops in ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT). Change
ptrace_stop() to check signal->group_exit_task.

This is a user-visible change. But hopefully it can't break anything.
Note that the semantics of PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT was never really defined,
it depends on /dev/random. Just for example, currently a sub-thread
killed by exec will stop, but if it exits on its own and races with
exec it will not stop, so nobody can rely on PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT anyway.

We really need to finally define what PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT should actually
do, but this needs other changes.
