    signal: Remove SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP · 2f824d4d
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    After the previous cleanups "signal->core_state" is set whenever
    SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is set and "signal->core_state" is tested
    whenver the code wants to know if a coredump is in progress.  The
    remaining tests of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP also test to see if
    SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set.  Similarly the only place that sets
    SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP also sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.
    
    Which makes SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP unecessary and redundant. So stop
    setting SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP, stop testing SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP, and
    remove it's definition.
    
    With the setting of SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP gone, coredump_finish no
    longer needs to clear SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP out of signal->flags
    by setting SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.
