exit_group.2: Remove a confusing reference to _exit(2) in DESCRIPTION
As noted by Jakub:
BTW, the exit_group.2 man page could use an update (possibly
by merging it into exit.2): it says that the "system
call is is equivalent to _exit(2) except that it terminates
not only the calling thread, but all threads in the calling
process's thread group", which isn't helpful these days.
