exit: avoid sig->count in de_thread/__exit_signal synchronization

de_thread() and __exit_signal() use signal_struct->count/notify_count for
synchronization.  We can simplify the code and use ->notify_count only.
Instead of comparing these two counters, we can change de_thread() to set
->notify_count = nr_of_sub_threads, then change __exit_signal() to
dec-and-test this counter and notify group_exit_task.

Note that __exit_signal() checks "notify_count > 0" just for symmetry with
exit_notify(), we could just check it is != 0.
