tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 case

My commit 2b2a1ff6 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.

Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).
