This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to
__exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held.

This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore:

copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
under ->siglock.

Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.

NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention.  It still changes task->pid
lockless.  Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock
removals.
