kill tracehook_notify_death()

Kill tracehook_notify_death(), reimplement the logic in its caller,
exit_notify().

Also, change the exec_id's check to use thread_group_leader() instead
of task_detached(), this is more clear. This logic only applies to
the exiting leader, a sub-thread must never change its exit_signal.

Note: when the traced group leader exits the exit_signal-or-SIGCHLD
logic looks really strange:

	- we notify the tracer even if !thread_group_empty() but
	   do_wait(WEXITED) can't work until all threads exit

	- if the tracer is real_parent, it is not clear why can't
	  we use ->exit_signal event if !thread_group_empty()

-v2: do not try to fix the 2nd oddity to avoid the subtle behavior
     change mixed with reorganization, suggested by Tejun.
