[PATCH] fix de_thread() vs do_coredump() deadlock
de_thread() sends SIGKILL to all sub-threads and waits them to die in 'D' state. It is possible that one of the threads already dequeued coredump signal. When de_thread() unlocks ->sighand->lock that thread can enter do_coredump()->coredump_wait() and cause a deadlock.
