[PATCH v3 13/16] exit: Factor thread_group_exited out of pidfd_poll

[Eric W. Biederman]

Create an independent helper thread_group_exited report return true
when all threads have passed exit_notify in do_exit.  AKA all of the
threads are at least zombies and might be dead or completely gone.

Create this helper by taking the logic out of pidfd_poll where
it is already tested, and adding a missing READ_ONCE on
the read of task->exit_state.

I will be changing the user mode driver code to use this same logic
to know when a user mode driver needs to be restarted.

Place the new helper thread_group_exited in kernel/exit.c and
EXPORT it so it can be used by modules.
