Subject: [PATCH 05/17] signal: Bring down all threads when handling a
 non-coredump fatal signal

For non-coredump fatal signals instead of dropping and reacquiring
siglock to shoot down the other threads from do_group_exit
at the end of get_signal, shot down the other threads before
siglock is dropped.

This can not be done for coredump signals yet, because do_coredump
needs to be in a position to catch dying threads before it kills them
so it can make certain to catch them, so they can be added to the
coredump.
