coredump: ensure that SIGKILL always kills the dumping thread

prepare_signal() blesses SIGKILL sent to the dumping process but this
signal can be "lost" anyway.  The problems is, complete_signal() sees
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and skips the "kill them all" logic.  And even if the
dumping process is single-threaded (so the target is always "correct"),
the group-wide SIGKILL is not recorded in task->pending and thus
__fatal_signal_pending() won't be true.  A multi-threaded case has even
more problems.

And even ignoring all technical details, SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT doesn't look
right to me.  This coredumping process is not exiting yet, it can do a lot
of work dumping the core.

With this patch the dumping process doesn't have SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, we set
signal->group_exit_task instead.  This makes signal_group_exit() true and
thus this should equally close the races with exit/exec/stop but allows to
kill the dumping thread reliably.

Notes:
	- It is not clear what should we do with ->group_exit_code
	  if the dumper was killed, see the next change.

	- we need more (hopefully straightforward) changes to ensure
	  that SIGKILL actually interrupts the coredump. Basically we
	  need to check __fatal_signal_pending() in dump_write() and
	  dump_seek().
