signal: Use GROUP_STOP_PENDING to stop once for a single group stop

Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop.  However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.

Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.

This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress.  The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined.  Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.

This results in the following behavior changes.

* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
  reported.

* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
  tracer would get the notification.  However, as a ptraced task could
  be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
  stop, the notification may still be missing.  These will be
  addressed with further patches.

* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
  the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery.  Group stop
  code handles this correctly.

Oleg:

* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
  GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set.  Fixed by updating
  recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
  group_stop_count.

* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
  task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared.  Fixed accordingly.

* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
  RUNNING and the last behavior change.
