fix dangling zombie when new parent ignores children
This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced by commit b2b2cbc4b2a2f389442549399a993a8306420baf. When a parent ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have done earlier if ptrace had not been in use. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
