Subject: [PATCH 3/4] pid_ns: de_thread: kill the now unneeded ->child_reaper change

de_thread() checks if the old leader was the ->child_reaper, this is not
possible any longer. With the previous patch ->group_leader itself will
change ->child_reaper on exit.

>From now find_new_reaper() is the only function (apart from initialization)
which plays with ->child_reaper.
