[PATCH 5/9] signal/group_exit: Use start_group_exit in place of do_group_exit

Make thread exiting uniform by causing all threads to pass through
get_signal when they are exiting. This simplifies the analysis
of sychronization during exit and guarantees that all full set
of registers will be available for ptrace to examine for
threads that stop at PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT.
