[PATCH 1/8] make do_notify_parent() return bool

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

- change do_notify_parent() to return a boolean, true if the task should
  be reaped because its parent ignores SIGCHLD.

- update the only caller which checks the returned value, exit_notify().

This temporary uglifies exit_notify() even more, will be cleanuped by
the next change.
