do_signal_stop() tests sig->group_stop_count one more time after calling tracehook_notify_jctl() as it's allowed release siglock. If group_stop_count has changed to zero, it no longer stops but still notifies the parent. For both SIGCONT and KILL which could cause the condition, this notification is unnecessary.
SIGCONT will be notified to the parent when the task calls get_signal_to_deliver() right after returning from do_signal_stop() which will handle the collapsed notification correctly by itself. The notification from do_signal_stop() in this case would only cause duplication. For SIGKILL, the imminent death of the task will be notified to parent and it's completely superflous to report the skipped stop.
Also, tracehook_notify_jctl() doesn't release siglock, so, currently, none of these matters at all.
This patch updates do_signal_stop() such that it jumps out of the function if group_stop_count has dropped during tracehook_notify_jctl().
This doesn't cause any behavior difference as the condition never triggers in the current code.
