exit: avoid sig->count in de_thread/__exit_signal synchronization
de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for synchronization. We can simplify the code and use ->notify_count only. Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set ->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task. Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.
