This patch doesn't try to optimize ->sighand.siglock locking,
and I think this is right. But this also means we don't need
rmb() here. It was needed to protect against "another thread
just exited, cpu can read ->c* values before thread_group_empty()
without taking siglock" case, now it is not possible.
