Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] signal: Remove has_group_leader_pid


After the introduction of exchange_tids has_group_leader_pid is
equivalent to thread_group_leader.  After the last couple of cleanups
has_group_leader_pid has no more callers.

So remove the now unused and redundant has_group_leader_pid.
