1. do_hardwall_trap() checks ->sighand != NULL and then takes ->siglock.

   This is unsafe even if the task can't run (I assume it is pinned to
   the same CPU), its parent can reap the task and set ->sighand = NULL
   right after this check. Even if the compiler dosn't read ->sighand
   twice and this memory can't to away __group_send_sig_info() is wrong
   after that. Use do_send_sig_info().

2. Send SIGILL to the thread, not to the whole process. Unless it has
   the handler or blocked this kills the whole thread-group as before.
   IIUC, different threads can be bound to different rect's.

3. Check PF_EXITING instead of ->sighand. A zombie thread can go away
   but its ->sighand can be !NULL.
