Yes.

I do not know. My only point was, this thread_group_leader() looks
a bit confusing, at least if we are talking about do_exit() path.

Not sure I understand... Do you mean

	if (is_thread_group)
		fill_tgid_exit(tsk);

? Afaics, this is not "When the last thread exits", this is
"this program is multithreaded, it has (or had) other threads".
