After the previous cleanups "signal->core_state" is set whenever SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is set and "signal->core_state" is tested whenver the code wants to know if a coredump is in progress. The remaining tests of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP also test to see if SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set. Similarly the only place that sets SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP also sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. Which makes SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP unecessary and redundant so stop setting SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP, stop testing SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP and remove it's definition makeing the code slightly simpler. With the setting of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP gone coredump_finish no longer needs to clear SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP out of signal->flags by setting SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
