[PATCH 1/2] remove handle_group_stop() in favor of do_signal_stop()

[PATCH 1/2] remove handle_group_stop() in favor of do_signal_stop()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Every time we set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT or clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED we also
reset ->group_stop_count.

This means that the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check in handle_group_stop() is not
needed, and do_signal_stop() should check SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED only when
->group_stop_count == 0. With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the
subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead.

Also, a preparation for the next patch.
