Oleg Nesterov 0b7747a547 pidfs: cleanup the usage of do_notify_pidfd()
If a single-threaded process exits do_notify_pidfd() will be called twice,
from exit_notify() and right after that from do_notify_parent().

1. Change exit_notify() to call do_notify_pidfd() if the exiting task is
   not ptraced and it is not a group leader.

2. Change do_notify_parent() to call do_notify_pidfd() unconditionally.

   If tsk is not ptraced, do_notify_parent() will only be called when it
   is a group-leader and thread_group_empty() is true.

This means that if tsk is ptraced, do_notify_pidfd() will be called from
do_notify_parent() even if tsk is a delay_group_leader(). But this case is
less common, and apart from the unnecessary __wake_up() is harmless.

Granted, this unnecessary __wake_up() can be avoided, but I don't want to
do it in this patch because it's just a consequence of another historical
oddity: we notify the tracer even if !thread_group_empty(), but do_wait()
from debugger can't work until all other threads exit. With or without this
patch we should either eliminate do_notify_parent() in this case, or change
do_wait(WEXITED) to untrace the ptraced delay_group_leader() at least when
ptrace_reparented().
