do_wait: cleanup delay_group_leader() usage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader().  With the previous patch
this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to
the only place it is really needed.

Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group
leaders in a non-empty thread group.  I don't really understand the exact
semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix.

Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor.
