Just one note, to avoid the "doesn't look correct" questions.

This assumes that current == parent. But this is not true with
CLONE_PARENT. If a task does prctl(REAPER) + clone(CLONE_PARENT)
->has_child_subreaper == T is not exactly right.

But I think this is fine and we do not care, a "wrong"
->has_child_subreaper is harmless and it can't be 100% correct in
any case.

I believe the patch is correct.

Oleg.
