Subject: Clean up the kill_something_info
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d5df763b81946a405837b80874516dfc2a8f7ebf;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

Clean up the kill_something_info

This is the first step (of two) in removing the kill_pgrp_info.

All the users of this function are in kernel/signal.c, but all they need is to
call __kill_pgrp_info() with the tasklist_lock read-locked.

Fortunately, one of its users is the kill_something_info(), which already
needs this lock in one of its branches, so clean these branches up and call
the __kill_pgrp_info() directly.

Based on Oleg's view of how this function should look.
