I instrumented the code with a warning and received the following backtrace:

The immediate problem is as Christof noticed that "pid_alive(current) == false".
This happens because do_notify_parent is called from the last thread to exit
in a process after that thread has been reaped.
The bigger issue is that do_notify_parent can be called from any
process that manages to wait on a thread of a multi-threaded process
from wait_task_zombie. So any logic based upon current for
do_notify_parent is just nonsense, as current can be pretty much
anything.
So change do_notify_parent to call __send_signal directly.
Inspecting the code it appears this problem has existed since the pid
namespace support started handling this case in 2.6.30. This fix only
backports to 7a0cf094944e ("signal: Correct namespace fixups of si_pid and si_uid")
where the problem logic was moved out of __send_signal and into send_signal.
