Oh, I'd like to suggest something simpler, but I can't :(

BTW, I think we have the same problem when handle_stop_signal() does
do_notify_parent_cldstop(p, CLD_STOPPED) above. The multithreaded app
in the middle of the group stop can resume without actually seeing
SIGCONT, no?

Currently I have the very vagues idea, please see the "patch" below
(it is not right of course, just for illustration).

These unlock(->siglock)'s on the signal sending path are really nasty,
it would be wonderfull to avoid them. Note also sig_needs_tasklist(),
we take tasklist_lock() exactly because we will probably drop siglock.

What do you think about the approach at least?

Oleg.
