The bug is ancient.

If we trace the sub-thread of our natural child and this sub-thread exits,
we update parent->signal->cxxx fields.  But we should not do this until
the whole thread-group exits, otherwise we account this thread (and all
other live threads) twice.

Add the task_detached() check.  No need to check thread_group_empty(),
wait_consider_task()->delay_group_leader() already did this.
