[PATCH V6 05/10] signal: Perfom autoreap for PF_USER_WORKER

STALE1762d

From: Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Userspace doesn't know about PF_USER_WORKER threads, so it can't do wait
to clean them up. For cases like where qemu will do dynamic/hot add/remove
of vhost devices, then we need to auto reap the thread like was done for
the kthread case, because qemu does not know what API the kernel/vhost
layer is using.

This has us do autoreaping for these threads similar to when the parent
ignores SIGCHLD and for kthreads.
