__group_complete_signal(): fix coredump with group stop race
When __group_complete_signal() sees sig_kernel_coredump() signal, it starts
the group stop, but sets ->group_exit_task = t in a hope that "t" will
actually dequeue this signal and invoke do_coredump(). However, by the
time "t" enters get_signal_to_deliver() it is possible that the signal was
blocked/ignored or we have another pending !SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK signal
which will be dequeued first. This means the task could be stopped but not
killed.
Remove this code from __group_complete_signal(). Note also this patch
removes the bogus signal_wake_up(t, 1). This thread can't be
STOPPED/TRACED, note the corresponding check in wants_signal().
