Recently while investigating a problem with rr and signals I noticed
that siglock is dropped in ptrace_signal and get_signal does not jump
to relock.
Looking farther to see if the problem is anywhere else I see that
do_signal_stop also returns if signal_group_exit is true. I believe
that test can now never be true, but it is a bit hard to trace
through and be certain.
Testing signal_group_exit is not expensive, so move the test for
signal_group_exit into the for loop inside of get_signal to ensure
the test is never skipped improperly.
This has been a potential problem since I added the test for
signal_group_exit was added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
