proc_flush_task: flush /proc/tid/task/pid when a sub-thread exits

Browse Source 
The exiting sub-thread flushes /proc/pid only, but this doesn't buy too
much: ps and friends mostly use /proc/tid/task/pid.

Remove "if (thread_group_leader())" checks from proc_flush_task() path,
this means we always remove /proc/tid/task/pid dentry on exit, and this
actually matches the comment above proc_flush_task().

The test-case:

	static void* tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		char name[256];

		sprintf(name, "/proc/%d/task/%ld/status", getpid(), gettid());
		close(open(name, O_RDONLY));

		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t t;

		for (;;) {
			if (!pthread_create(&t, NULL, &tfunc, NULL))
				pthread_join(t, NULL);
		}
	}

slabtop shows that pid/proc_inode_cache/etc grow quickly and
"indefinitely" until the task is killed or shrink_slab() is called, not
good.  And the main thread needs a lot of time to exit.

The same can happen if something like "ps -efL" runs continuously, while
some application spawns short-living threads.
