Subject: [PATCH 6/6] exit: reparent: introduce find_alive_thread()

Add the new simple helper to factor out the for_each_thread() code
in find_child_reaper() and find_new_reaper(). It can also simplify
the potential PF_EXITING -> exit_state change, plus perhaps we can
change this code to take SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT into account.
