Subject: [PATCH 8/9] signal/task_exit: Use start_task_exit in place of do_exit


Reuse start_task_exit_locked to implement start_task_exit.

Simplify the exit logic by having all exits go through get_signal.
This simplifies the analysis of syncrhonization during exit and
gurantees a full set of registers will be available for ptrace to
examine at PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT.
