proc: turn signal_struct->count into "int nr_threads"
No functional changes, just s/atomic_t count/int nr_threads/. With the recent changes this counter has a single user, get_nr_threads() And, none of its callers need the really accurate number of threads, not to mention each caller obviously races with fork/exit. It is only used to report this value to the user-space, except first_tid() uses it to avoid the unnecessary while_each_thread() loop in the unlikely case. It is a bit sad we need a word in struct signal_struct for this, perhaps we can change get_nr_threads() to approximate the number of threads using signal->live and kill ->nr_threads later.
