Because that's what your commit message _said_.

It still implies that with your changed language.

And honestly, wouldn't it be a lot more understandable if the state
was tracked with a single variable? The whole point of this series has
been "clarify exec".

So let's clarify it. There aren't that many places that set
sig->group_exit_task (whether renamed or not). How about we just
change _all_ of those to set 'sig->flags', and really clarify things?
