tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 case
My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression (sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0). This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite. Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case). This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a "signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).
