[PATCH 06/14] signal: In get_signal call do_exit when it is unnecessary to shoot down threads

["Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

In get_signal if other threads of the current process do not need to
be shot down calling do_group_exit is equivalent to calling do_exit.
The code in get_signal is only responsible for shooting down threads
when it dequeues a signal and decides the signal is fatal.

To remove special cases and make the code easier to read, call do_exit
instead of do_group_exit when no other threads need to be shot down.

With do_group_exit no longer being called when exec is terminating
threads in de_thread remove the special case in do_group_exit for
handling exec.
