NAME
       tracehook_report_death - task is dead and ready to be reaped

SYNOPSIS
       void tracehook_report_death(struct task_struct * task, int signal, void * death_cookie, int group_dead);

ARGUMENTS
       task

	   current task now exiting

       signal
	   return value from tracheook_notify_death

       death_cookie
	   value passed back from tracehook_notify_death

       group_dead
	   nonzero if this was the last thread in the group to die

DESCRIPTION
       Thread has just become a zombie or is about to self-reap. If positive, signal is the signal number just sent to the parent (usually
       SIGCHLD). If signal is DEATH_REAP, this thread will self-reap. If signal is DEATH_DELAYED_GROUP_LEADER, this is a delayed_group_leader
       zombie. The death_cookie was passed back by tracehook_notify_death.

       If normal reaping is not inhibited, task->exit_state might be changing in parallel.

       Called without locks.
