Subject: keyctl_session_to_parent(): use thread_group_empty() to check singlethreadness
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
No functional changes.
keyctl_session_to_parent() is the only user of signal->count which needs
the correct value. Change it to use thread_group_empty() instead, this
must be strictly equivalent under tasklist, and imho looks better.
