exit: reparent: call forget_original_parent() under tasklist_lock
Shift "release dead children" loop from forget_original_parent() to its caller, exit_notify(). It is safe to reap them even if our parent reaps us right after we drop tasklist_lock, those children no longer have any connection to the exiting task. And this allows us to avoid write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) right after it was released by forget_original_parent(), we can simply call it with tasklist_lock held. While at it, move the comment about forget_original_parent() up to this function. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.
