H A Dsignal.hdiff dce8f8ed1de1d9d6d27c5ccd202ce4ec163b100c Wed Aug 23 12:08:06 CDT 2023 Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> document while_each_thread(), change first_tid() to use for_each_thread()

Add the comment to explain that while_each_thread(g,t) is not rcu-safe
unless g is stable (e.g. current). Even if g is a group leader and thus
can't exit before t, t or another sub-thread can exec and remove g from
the thread_group list.

The only lockless user of while_each_thread() is first_tid() and it is
fine in that it can't loop forever, yet for_each_thread() looks better and
I am going to change while_each_thread/next_thread.
