Agreed, the patch looks fine for -stable. I don't think that
cgroup_can_fork() could ever use thread_group_leader() or anything
else which checks ->exit_code...

And I see that Greg has already sent the patches with the correct
modifications for the case when we need "clone_flags & CSIGNAL"
rather than args->exit_signal.

Thanks Greg,

Oleg.
