kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): consolidate the lockless CLONE_THREAD checks
copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets "p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if !thread_group_leader(p). This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.
