[PATCH] processes: reparent_thread: don't callkill_orphaned_pgrp() if task_detached()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Needs an ack from someone who understands orphaned groups.

If task_detached(p) == T, then either

	a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader
	   on the ->children list.
or
	b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD.
	   This can only happen when the last sub-thread has died,
	   but in that case that thread has already called
	   kill_orphaned_pgrp() from exit_notify().

In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.
