uglify kill_pid_info() to fix kill() vs exec() race
kill_pid_info()->pid_task() could be the old leader of the execing process. In that case it is possible that the leader will be released before we take siglock. This means that kill_pid_info() (and thus sys_kill()) can return a false -ESRCH. Change the code to retry when lock_task_sighand() fails. The endless loop is not possible, __exit_signal() both clears ->sighand and does detach_pid(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.
