[PATCH 1/4] exit: exit_notify() can trust signal->notify_count < 0

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

Now that Veaceslav changed copy_signal() to use zalloc(), exit_notify()
can just check notify_count < 0 to ensure the execing sub-threads needs
the notification from us. No need to do other checks, notify_count != 0
must always mean ->group_exit_task != NULL is waiting for us.
