Kernel patch to fix main thread pthread_exit problem.
Causes the single-thread exit system call (sys_exit) to detect that it's the
main thread of a thread group, and perform a wait for the other threads to die
before proceeding with its own exit. During this wait, signals are handled
properly by returning from sys_exit with ERESTARTSYS (not seen in user space).
Consequently, POSIX job control now works properly on a process whose main
thread has called pthread_exit, but which still has other threads running.
