    Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
     "Here are two fixes:
    
       - Panic earlier when global init exits to generate useable coredumps.
    
         Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group
         have exited we panic via:
    
           do_exit()
           -> exit_notify()
              -> forget_original_parent()
                 -> find_child_reaper()
    
         This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init
         from a kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will
         have already released global init's mm. We now panic slightly
         earlier. This has been a problem in certain environments such as
         Android.
    
       - Fix a race in assigning and reading taskstats for thread-groups
         with more than one thread.
    
         This patch has been waiting for quite a while since people
         disagreed on what the correct fix was at first"
