remove handle_group_stop() in favor of do_signal_stop()
Every time we set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT or clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED we also reset ->group_stop_count. This means that the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check in handle_group_stop() is not needed, and do_signal_stop() should check SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED only when ->group_stop_count == 0. With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead. Also, a preparation for the next patch.
