Since commit 8e1f385104ac ("kill task_struct->thread_group") remove
the thread_group, we will encounter below issue.

(gdb) lx-ps
      TASK          PID    COMM
0xffff800086503340   0   swapper/0
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: There is no member named thread_group.
Error occurred in Python: There is no member named thread_group.

We use signal->thread_head to iterate all threads instead.

Fixes: 8e1f385104ac ("kill task_struct->thread_group")

Is it possible to merge this simple change before v6.7 ?
Then "cc: stable" can be removed.

Oleg.
