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.
