forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry
By discussion with Roland. - Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list. - rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs. - Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument. Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.
