reparent_thread: fix a zombie leak if /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD
If /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD and we re-parent a zombie, it is leaked.
reparent_thread() does do_notify_parent() which sets ->exit_signal = -1 in
this case. This means that nobody except us can reap it, the detached
task is not visible to do_wait().
Change reparent_thread() to return a boolean (like __pthread_detach) to
indicate that the thread is dead and must be released. Also change
forget_original_parent() to add the child to ptrace_dead list in this
case.
The naming becomes insane, the next patch does the cleanup.
