do_wait: cleanup delay_group_leader() usage
eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader(). With the previous patch this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to the only place it is really needed. Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group leaders in a non-empty thread group. I don't really understand the exact semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix. Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor.
