PF_EXITING or TASK_STOPPED has already called task_participate_group_stop()
and cleared its ->group_stop. No need to do task_clear_group_stop_pending()
when we start the new group stop.

Add a small comment to explain the !task_is_stopped() check. Note that this
check is not exactly right and it can lead to unnecessary stop later if the
thread is TASK_PTRACED. What we need is task_participated_in_group_stop(),
this will be solved later.
