tile: do_hardwall_trap: do not play with task->sighand
1. do_hardwall_trap() checks ->sighand != NULL and then takes ->siglock. This is unsafe even if the task can't run (I assume it is pinned to the same CPU), its parent can reap the task and set ->sighand = NULL right after this check. Even if the compiler dosn't read ->sighand twice and this memory can't to away __group_send_sig_info() is wrong after that. Use do_send_sig_info(). 2. Send SIGILL to the thread, not to the whole process. Unless it has the handler or blocked this kills the whole thread-group as before. IIUC, different threads can be bound to different rect's. 3. Check PF_EXITING instead of ->sighand. A zombie thread can go away but its ->sighand can be !NULL.
