exit/xtensa: In arch/xtensa/entry.S:Linvalid_mask call make_task_dead
There have historically been two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. The function make_task_dead has been added to accomidate the second use. The call to do_exit in Linvalidmask is clearly not a normal userspace exit. As failure handling there are two possible ways to go. If userspace can trigger the issue force_exit_sig should be called. Otherwise make_task_dead probably from the implementation of die is appropriate. Replace the call of do_exit in Linvalidmask with make_task_dead as I don't know xtensa and especially xtensa assembly language well enough to do anything else.
