exit signals: use of uninitialized field notify_count
task->signal->notify_count is only initialized if task->signal->group_exit_task is not NULL. Reorder a conditional so that uninitialised memory is not used. Found by Valgrind. Signed-off-by: Steve VanDeBogart <vandebo-lkml@nerdbox.net> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
