cgroup: Don't expose dead tasks in cgroup

Once a task exits it has its state set to TASK_DEAD and then it is
removed from the cgroup it belonged to. The last step happens on the task
gets out of its last schedule() invocation and is delayed on PREEMPT_RT
due to locking constraints.

As a result it is possible to receive a pid via waitpid() of a task
which is still listed in cgroup.procs for the cgroup it belonged
to. This is something that systemd does not expect and as a result it
waits for its exit until a time out occurs.
This can also be reproduced on !PREEMPT_RT kernel with a significant
delay in do_exit() after exit_notify().

Hide the task from the output which have PF_EXITING set which is done
before the parent is notified. Keeping zombies with live threads
shouldn't break anything (suggested by Tejun).
