[PATCH] exit-fix-2.5.34-C0, BK-curr
This fixes one more exit-time resource accounting issue - and it's also a speedup and a thread-tree (to-be thread-aware pstree) visual improvement. In the current code we reparent detached threads to the init thread. This worked but was not very nice in ps output: threads showed up as being related to init. There was also a resource-accounting issue, upon exit they update their parent's (ie. init's) rusage fields - effectively losing these statistics. Eg. 'time' under-reports CPU usage if the threaded app is Ctrl-C-ed prematurely. The solution is to reparent threads to the group leader - this is now very easy since we have p->group_leader cached and it's also valid all the time. It's also somewhat faster for applications that use CLONE_THREAD but do not use the CLONE_DETACHED feature.
