[PATCH v2 5/6] coredump: Stop using group_exit_task

[ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Eric W. Biederman)]

Setting and clearing of group_exit_task in the coredump code was added
to affect the outcome of signal_group_exit()[1].  The coredump code
has not grown any other uses for setting group_exit_task since.  Now
that signal_group_exit() no longer tests group_exit_task stop setting
and clearing it.
