[PATCH] fix kill_proc_info() vs CLONE_THREAD race
There is a window after copy_process() unlocks ->sighand.siglock
and before it adds the new thread to the thread list.
In that window __group_complete_signal(SIGKILL) will not see the
new thread yet, so this thread will start running while the whole
thread group was supposed to exit.
I beleive we have another good reason to place attach_pid(PID/TGID)
under ->sighand.siglock. We can do the same for
release_task()->__unhash_process()
de_thread()->switch_exec_pids()
After that we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over the thread
list, and we can simplify things, see for example do_sigaction()
or sys_times().
