Subject: signals: check ->group_stop_count after tracehook_get_signal()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Move the call to do_signal_stop() down, after tracehook call.  This makes
->group_stop_count condition visible to tracers before do_signal_stop()
will participate in this group-stop.

Currently the patch has no effect, tracehook_get_signal() always returns 0.
