Subject: [PATCH 1/3] handle_stop_signal: unify partial/full stop handling

(on top of "[RFC,PATCH 1/2] signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to reciever")

Now that handle_stop_signal() doesn't drop ->siglock, we can't see both
->group_stop_count && SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED. Merge two "if" branches.

As Roland pointed out, we never actually needed 2 do_notify_parent_cldstop()
calls.
