exec: kill unsafe BUG_ON(sig->count) checks
de_thread:
if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1)
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1);
This is not safe without the rmb() in between. The results of two
correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen
out of order on our CPU.
The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s
changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count).
On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the
compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy.
Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like
BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) );
