This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task()
to __exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock
held.

This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread
group anymore:
 
	copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
	under ->siglock.

	Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
	changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.

NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention. It still changes
task->pid lockless. Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do
more tasklist_lock removals.
