Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/3] exit: __exit_signal: use thread_group_leader()
	consistently

Cleanup:

- Add the boolean, group_dead = thread_group_leader(), for clarity.

- Do not test/set sig == NULL to detect the all-dead case, use this
  boolean.

- Pass this boolen to __unhash_process() and use it instead of another
  thread_group_leader() call which needs ->group_leader.

  This can be considered as microoptimization, but hopefully this also
  allows us do do other cleanups later.
