(textually depends on wait_task_zombie-remove-unneeded-child-signal-check.patch)
The "p->exit_signal == -1 && p->ptrace == 0" check and the comment are bogus.
We already did exactly the same check in eligible_child(), we did not drop
tasklist_lock since then, and both variables need write_lock(tasklist) to be
changed.
