[PATCH -mm 2/3] exit: reparent: call forget_original_parent() under tasklist_lock

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

Shift "release dead children" loop from forget_original_parent() to
its caller, exit_notify(). It is safe to reap them even if our parent
reaps us right after we drop tasklist_lock, those children no longer
have any connection to the exiting task.

And this allows us to avoid write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) right after
it was released by forget_original_parent(), we can simply call it
with tasklist_lock held.

While at it, move the comment about forget_original_parent() up to
this function.
