[PATCH] fix kill_proc_info() vs fork() theoretical race

copy_process:

	attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID, p->pid);
	attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_TGID, p->tgid);

What if kill_proc_info(p->pid) happens in between?

copy_process() holds current->sighand.siglock, so we are safe
in CLONE_THREAD case, because current->sighand == p->sighand.

Otherwise, p->sighand is unlocked, the new process is already
visible to the find_task_by_pid(), but have a copy of parent's
'struct pid' in ->pids[PIDTYPE_TGID].

This means that __group_complete_signal() may hang while doing

	do ... while (next_thread() != p)

We can solve this problem if we reverse these 2 attach_pid()s:

	attach_pid() does wmb()

	group_send_sig_info() calls spin_lock(), which
	provides a read barrier. // Yes ?

I don't think we can hit this race in practice, but still.
