exec: make de_thread() killable
Change de_thread() to use KILLABLE rather than UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for other threads. The only complication is that we should
clear ->group_exit_task and ->notify_count before we return, and we
should do this under tasklist_lock. -EAGAIN is used to match the
initial signal_group_exit() check/return, it doesn't really matter.
This fixes the (unlikely) race with coredump. de_thread() checks
signal_group_exit() before it starts to kill the subthreads, but this
can't help if another CLONE_VM (but non CLONE_THREAD) task starts the
coredumping after de_thread() unlocks ->siglock. In this case the
killed sub-thread can block in exit_mm() waiting for coredump_finish(),
execing thread waits for that sub-thead, and the coredumping thread
waits for execing thread. Deadlock.
