do_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader

do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is
not true if the leader is already dead.  Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead
and use signal->group_exit_code.

Trivial test-case:

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		pause();
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t thr;
		pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
		pthread_exit(NULL);
		return 0;
	}

It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but
bash can't see this.

The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent
more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored.

This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area.  For
example, before this patch:

	$ sleep 100
	^Z
	[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 100
	$ strace -p `pidof sleep`
	Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit

strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by
bash.  After this patch, strace happily proceeds:

	--- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) ---
	restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>

To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct.

Another example.  Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread
T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED).  Now we can
ptrace T but not M.  This looks at least strange to me.

Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the
per-process job control stops.
