If we assume that *getty takes care about setting INIT_PROCESS/LOGIN_PROCESS itself, we need just set DEAD_PROCESS for dead processes with pid in utmp table and log it into wtmp.

Init goes through the utmp table, tries to find entry with dead process pid and sets it to DEAD_PROCESS. There is no need to create/set up "utmp" stanza.

Test covers utmp table with 2 entries and with 2 situation - process is in LOGIN_PROCESS or USER_PROCESS.
