It predates the git history and most probably it was never needed. It
doesn't really hurt, but it looks confusing because its purpose is not
clear at all.
release_task(p) is called when this task has already passed exit_notify()
so signal_pending(p) == T shouldn't make any difference.
And even _if_ there were a subtle reason to clear TIF_SIGPENDING after
exit_notify(), this clear_tsk_thread_flag() can't help anyway. If the
exiting task is a group leader or if it is ptraced, release_task() will
be likely called when this task has already done its last schedule() from
do_task_dead().
