wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented().  This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not
need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we
also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task().

Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with
ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.
