Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
"Here are two fixes:
- Panic earlier when global init exits to generate useable coredumps.
Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group
have exited we panic via:
do_exit()
-> exit_notify()
-> forget_original_parent()
-> find_child_reaper()
This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init
from a kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will
have already released global init's mm. We now panic slightly
earlier. This has been a problem in certain environments such as
Android.
- Fix a race in assigning and reading taskstats for thread-groups
with more than one thread.
This patch has been waiting for quite a while since people
disagreed on what the correct fix was at first"

============
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.
