exit: fix race between wait_consider_task() and wait_task_zombie()

wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and
both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE
change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after
security_task_wait().  In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly
cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible
child.

Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem.

Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit
b3ab03160dfa ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks").  Before
this commit "-O2" was probably enough to guarantee that compiler won't
read ->exit_state twice.
