1. exit_notify() always calls kill_orphaned_pgrp(). This is wrong, we
   should do this only when the whole process exits.

2. exit_notify() uses "current" as "ignored_task", obviously wrong.
   Use ->group_leader instead.

Test case:

	void hup(int sig)
	{
		printf("HUP received\n");
	}

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		sleep(2);
		printf("sub-thread exited\n");
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		if (!fork()) {
			signal(SIGHUP, hup);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
			exit(0);
		}

		pthread_t thr;
		pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);

		sleep(1);
		printf("main thread exited\n");
		syscall(__NR_exit, 0);

		return 0;
	}

output:

	main thread exited
	HUP received
	Hangup

With this patch the output is:

	main thread exited
	sub-thread exited
	HUP received
