do_wait() optimization: do not place sub-threads on task_struct->children list

Browse source 
Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.

Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list.  This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().

With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.

Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).

This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.

Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.
