Subject: [RFC] decrease tsk->signal->live before profile_task_exit

I want to dermine which thread is the last one to enter
do_exit in profile_task_exit. But when a lot of threads
exit, tsk->signal->live is not correct since it decrease
after profile_task_exit.

I don't think that would be wise.

Any additional code before the sanity checks at the start of do_exit
seems like a bad idea.

We could probably move the decrement of tsk->signal->live a little
earlier, but not that much earlier in the function.

Does profile_task_exit even make sense that early in the code? If the
code is doing much of anything that is a completely inappopriate
placement of profile_task_exit.

I think so too.

Move the decrement of tsk->signal->live after the sanity checks, then
profile_task_exit and kcov_task_exit make more sense.
