**What happened**:
When a task get externally killed, it is marked as Failed even though it can
be retried.
<!-- (please include exact error messages if you can) -->
**What you expected to happen**:
When a task get externally killed (kill -9 pid), it should put back to retry
if it `retries` did not run out yet.
<!-- What do you think went wrong? -->
**How to reproduce it**:
I'm using Celery as executor and I have a cluster of ~250 machine.
I have a task that defined as next. When the task started to execute, and it
get killed externally by sending SIGKILL to it (or to the executor process and
it's children), it get marked as FAILED and doesn't put to retry (even though
retries is set to 10 times)
```
import time
def _task1(ts_nodash, dag_run, ti, **context):
time.sleep(300)
tasks = PythonOperator(
task_id='task1',
python_callable=_task1,
retries=10,
dag=dag1
)
```

As minimally and precisely as possible. Keep in mind we do not have access
to your cluster or dags.
If you are using kubernetes, please attempt to recreate the issue using
minikube or kind.
