When a task exits and uses do_notify_parent to send tsk->exit_signal
or SIGCHLD this has one of two possible meanings.
- The ptraced task has exited
- The thread group has exited

Linux resolves this ambiguity by preferring the thread group exit
interpretation if it is possible.  As the exit of a thread group
containing a task is a superset of the exit of a task.

The code attempts to implement this in it's selection of signal
before calling do_notify_parent for a ptraced task.  Unfortunately
it fails to properly handle the case when the thread_group is still
running (but it's leader has exited).

Fix this for a ptraced child leader by skipping the notification
instead of changing the exit signal.  If we skip sending the signal in
exit_noitfy, when the last of the other threads are reaped
release_task will send the signal for us.
