change next_thread() to use __next_thread() ?: group_leader

Browse source

This relies on fact that group leader is always the 1st entry in the
signal->thread_head list.

With or without this change, if the lockless next_thread(last_thread)
races with exec it can return the old or the new leader.

We are almost ready to kill task->thread_group, after this change its
only user is thread_group_empty().
