Oleg Nesterov d36174bc2b uglify kill_pid_info() to fix kill() vs exec() race
kill_pid_info()->pid_task() could be the old leader of the execing process.
In that case it is possible that the leader will be released before we take
siglock. This means that kill_pid_info() (and thus sys_kill()) can return a
false -ESRCH.

Change the code to retry when lock_task_sighand() fails. The endless loop is
not possible, __exit_signal() both clears ->sighand and does detach_pid().
