Subject: coredump: simplify zap_process()
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 16:03:11 +0200

After commit 0258b5fd7c71 ("coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread
group") zap_process() doesn't need the "task_struct *start" arg,
zap_threads() can pass "signal_struct *signal" instead.

This simplifies the code and allows to use __for_each_thread() which
is slightly more efficient.
