[PATCH 2] signals: check ->group_stop_count after tracehook_get_signal()

(already in mm: signals-check-group_stop_count-after-tracehook_get_signal.patch)

Move the call to do_signal_stop() down, after tracehook call.
This makes ->group_stop_count condition visible to tracers before
do_signal_stop() will participate in this group-stop.

Currently the patch has no effect, tracehook_get_signal() always
returns 0.
