[Devel] [PATCH 3/20] Move checking for init's death in do_exit()

[xemul at openvz.org]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg at tv-sign.ru>

If some system uses multi-threaded init the kernel panics when the main
thread exits. Perhaps this is just a "quality of implementation" question.
sys_exit() from the main thread should be OK, why /sbin/init should be
special? That said, I personally do not think that multi-threaded init is
terribly useful.

So I think the patch below makes sense for now. Note that it removes
the games with pid_ns->child_reaper: this doesn't work currently, and
this has to be modified when we actually support pid namespaces anyway.
