[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 42/42] fork: fix copy_process(CLONE_PARENT) race with the exiting ->real_parent

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Eddy Wu <itseddy0402@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit b4e00444cab4c3f3fec876dc0cccc8cbb0d1a948 ]

current->group_leader->exit_signal may change during copy_process() if
current->real_parent exits.

Move the assignment inside tasklist_lock to avoid the race.
