[PATCH] coredump: don't take tasklist_lock

Browse Source 
This patch removes tasklist_lock from zap_threads().
This is safe wrt:

	do_exit:
		The caller holds mm->mmap_sem. This means that task which
		shares the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm(), so it can't be
		unhashed from init_task.tasks or ->thread_group lists.

	fork:
		None of sub-threads can fork after zap_process(leader). All
		processes which were created before this point should be
		visible to zap_threads() because copy_process() adds the new
		process to the tail of init_task.tasks list, and ->siglock
		lock/unlock provides a memory barrier.

	de_thread:
		It does list_replace_rcu(&leader->tasks, &current->tasks).
		So zap_threads() will see either old or new leader, it does
		not matter. However, it can change p->sighand, so we should
		use lock_task_sighand() in zap_process().
