To clarify, it was actually possible because the caller, release_task(),
does
thread_pid = get_pid(p->thread_pid);
before __exit_signal() and detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) uses the same
task_struct->thread_pid. But I didn't want to rely on this fact.
And it seems we can do another cleanup... We can kill the no longer
needed get_pid/put_pid in release_task(). I'll send the patch.
