Subject[RFC][PATCH v2 2/5] sighand: Count each thread group once in sighand_struct

In practice either a thread group is either using a sighand_struct or
it isn't. Therefore simplify things a bit and only increment the
count in sighand_struct when a new thread group is created that uses
the existing sighand_struct, and only decrement the count in
sighand_struct when a thread group exits.

As well as standing on it's own merits this has the potential to simply
de_thread.
