In prepartion for moving the work of sys_exit and sys_group_exit into
get_signal compute exit_code in get_signal, make PF_SIGNALED depend on
the exit_code and pass the exit_code to do_group_exit.

Anytime there is a group exit the exit_code may differ from the signal
number.

To match the historical precedent as best I can make the exit_code 0
during exec. (The exit_code field would not have been set but probably
would have been left at a value of 0).

So far I don't understand the purpose of this preparation, but

This is another user-visible change...

PF_SIGNALED means that the task didn't exit on its own but have gone
through get_signal().

This should not affect coredump_task_exit(), but what about
acct_collect/bacct_add_tsk ?

Confused...
