sched: thread_group_cputime: Simplify, document the "alive" check

thread_group_cputime() looks as if it is rcu-safe, but in fact this
was wrong until ea6d290c which pins task->signal to task_struct.
It checks ->sighand != NULL under rcu, but this can't help if ->signal
can go away. Fortunately the caller either holds ->siglock, or it is
fastpath_timer_check() which uses current and checks exit_state == 0.

- Since ea6d290c commit tsk->signal is stable, we can read it first
  and avoid the initialization from INIT_CPUTIME.

- Even if tsk->signal is always valid, we still have to check it
  is safe to use next_thread() under rcu_read_lock(). Currently
  the code checks ->sighand != NULL, change it to use pid_alive()
  which is commonly used to ensure the task wasn't unhashed before
  we take rcu_read_lock().

  Add the comment to explain this check.

- Change the main loop to use the while_each_thread() helper.
