I don't really understand what makes the exiting task different,
but OK.

However, I must admit I dislike this check. Because, looking at this
code, it is not clear why do we check PF_EXITING. It looks as if it
is needed for correctness.

OK, this is minor. I think the patch is correct, just one nit below.

Yes, sure, rq->lock should ensure signal->autogroup can't go away.
(even if it can be changed under us). And it does, we are moving all
threads before kref_put().

Well, this looks a bit strange (but correct).

We are changing ->autogroup assuming the caller holds ->siglock.
But if we hold ->siglock we do not need rcu_read_lock() to iterate
over the thread_group, we can just do

p->signal->autogroup = autogroup_kref_get(ag);

t = p;
do {
sched_move_task(t);
} while_each_thread(p, t);

Again, this is minor, I won't insist.

Oleg.
