this check is not really correct, it can be a sub-thread... Doesn't matter,
please see below.

I never understood why security_task_wait() should deny to reap a child. But
since it can we probably want some explicit "the whole namespace goes away" check.
We could use, say, PIDNS_HASH_ADDING but I'd suggest something like a trivial change
below for now.
