Description

Documentation https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/master/userguide/workers.html#stopping-the-worker is outdated due merged PR #6942.

Suggestions

Documentation should mention that Celery worker main process running on systems supporting prctl. PR_SET_PDEATHSIG should be able to kill all child processes using SIGKILL signal.
