Subject: [PATCH 4/5] do_wait: kill the old BUG_ON, use while_each_thread()

do_wait() does BUG_ON(tsk->signal != current->signal), this looks like
a raher obsolete check. At least, I don't think do_wait() is the best
place to verify that all threads have the same ->signal. Remove it.

Also, change the code to use while_each_thread().
