p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have sub-threads.

However, the new "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)" check is not correct
either, this is just the temporary hack. Perhaps we can just remove this check,
but I don't understand orphaned process groups magic. At all. However, I think
exit_notify() is obviously and completely wrong wrt this helper.
