[PATCH] kernel/exit.c - 2.4.2 - small optimalisation (very small)

[Heusden, Folkert van]

Hi,

This very small patches re-orders 2 if-statements so that in the
most common case 1 less if-statement is executed, in the worst
case the same number of if-statements is executed (doesn't matter
though: it's would be the fault-situation anyway).
