[PATCH rc1-mm 2/3] coredump: shutdown current process first

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

This patch optimize zap_threads() for the case when there are
no ->mm users except the current's thread group. In that case
we can avoid 'for_each_process()' loop.

It also adds a useful invariant: SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT (if checked
under ->siglock) always implies that all threads (except may be
current) have pending SIGKILL.
