[PATCH] simplify do_signal_stop()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
do_signal_stop() considers 'thread_group_empty()' as a special case.
This was needed to avoid taking tasklist_lock. Since this lock is
unneeded any longer, we can remove this special case and simplify
the code even more.

Also, before this patch, finish_stop() was called with stop_count == -1
for 'thread_group_empty()' case. This is not strictly wrong, but confusing
and unneeded.
