[RFC,PATCH 3/3] do_wait: fix waiting for stopped group with dead leader

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

do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is not
true if the leader is already dead. Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead and use
->signal->group_exit_code.

This patch is not complete if not buggy. At the very minimum it needs cleanup.
