signals: dequeue_signal: don't check SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT when setting S…

…IGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED

dequeue_signal() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT before setting
SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED.  This was added by
788e05a a long ago to avoid the
coredump/SIGSTOP race.

Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both
incomplete and unneeded at the same time.  It is incomplete because
nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check
signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race.  Fortunately, we doesn't need
the check at all.  The only function which relies on SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
is do_signal_stop(), and it ignores this flag if signal_group_exit() == T,
this covers the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case.
