Currently, PF_EXITING check is completely broken. because 1) It only
care main-thread and ignore sub-threads 2) If user enable core-dump
feature, it can makes deadlock because the task during coredump ignore
SIGKILL.
The deadlock is certenaly worst result, then, minor PF_EXITING
optimization worth is relatively ignorable.
This patch removes it.
