p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads.  Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.

Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.

However, the new check is not perfect either.  There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task().  Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits.  This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.

As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.

Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too.  But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.

Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it.  This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.
