From: Oleg Nesterov This patch optimizes zap_threads() for the case when there are no ->mm users except the current's thread group. In that case we can avoid 'for_each_process()' loop. It also adds a useful invariant: SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT (if checked under ->siglock) always implies that all threads (except may be current) have pending SIGKILL.
