[PATCH] simplify exec from init's subthread
I think it is enough to take tasklist_lock for reading while changing child_reaper: Reparenting needs write_lock(tasklist_lock) Only one thread in a thread group can do exec() sighand->siglock garantees that get_signal_to_deliver() will not see a stale value of child_reaper. This means that we can change child_reaper earlier, without calling zap_other_threads() twice. "child_reaper = current" is a NOOP when init does exec from main thread, we don't care.
