Subject: [PATCH 9/9] signal: Move PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT into get_signal


This ensures that we always have all full set of registers available when
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT is called.  Something that is not guaranteed for callers
of do_exit.

Additionally this guarantees PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not cause havoc
with abnormal exits.
