If process becomes reaper (procctl(PROC_REAP_ACQUIRE)) while already
having some children, the children' reaper is not reset to the parent.
This allows for the situation where reaper has children but not
descendands and the too strict asserts in the reap_status() fire.
Remove the wrong asserts, add some clarification for the situation to
the procctl(2) REAP_STATUS.
