commit 43cf75d96409a20ef06b756877a2e72b10a026fc upstream.
Currently, when global init and all threads in its thread-group have exited we panic via: do_exit() -> exit_notify() -> forget_original_parent() -> find_child_reaper() This makes it hard to extract a useable coredump for global init from a kernel crashdump because by the time we panic exit_mm() will have already released global init's mm. This patch moves the panic futher up before exit_mm() is called. As was the case previously, we only panic when global init and all its threads in the thread-group have exited.
