[PATCH v2 4/6] signal: In signal_group_exit remove the group_exit_task test

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

There are two places where signal_group_exit are set.  In the
fs/exec.c:de_thread() and in fs/coredump.c:zap_threads().

The coredump usage of group_exit_task was explicitly added[1]
so that signal_group_exit() would return true during a
coredump.

When examining the coredump usage it turns out that SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP
is set in all of the same places as group_exit_task.  So signal_group_exit
can test SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP and achieve the same results with
respect to coredumps as testing group_exit_task.

Similarly the exec code sets and clears SIGNAL_GROUP_DETHREAD in all
of the places where group_exit_task is set and cleared.

So test SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP | SIGNAL_GROUP_DETHREAD instead of
group_exit_task.
