SubjectRe: [PATCH 02/20] exit: Remove calls of do_exit after noreturn versions of die

Maybe note that the "bust_spinlocks" calls are also redundant, since
they're in die(). I note that is a "mismatch" between the do_kill()
in die() (SIGSEGV) and after die() (SIGKILL). This patch makes no
behavioral change (the first caller would "win"), but I thought I'd note
it in case some architecture would prefer a different signal.
