Subject: [PATCH] __group_complete_signal: eliminate unneeded wakeup of ->group_exit_task

Cleanup. __group_complete_signal() wakes up ->group_exit_task twice. The second
wakeup's state includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is not very appropriate.

Change the code to pass the "correct" argument to signal_wake_up() and kill now
unneeded wake_up_process().
