INIT_TASK() should initialize ->thread_group list
The trivial /sbin/init doing
int main(void)
{
kill(0, SIGKILL)
}
crashes the kernel.
This happens because __kill_pgrp_info(init_struct_pid) also sends SIGKILL
to the swapper process which runs with the uninitialized ->thread_group.
Change INIT_TASK() to initialize ->thread_group properly.
Note: the real problem is that the swapper process must not be visible to
signals, see the next patch. But this change is right anyway and fixes
the crash.
