exec: kill unsafe BUG_ON(sig->count) checks

Browse Source 
de_thread:

	if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1)
		BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1);

This is not safe without the rmb() in between.  The results of two
correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen
out of order on our CPU.

The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s
changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count).

On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the
compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy.

Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like

	BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) );
