Subject: [RFC,PATCH 1/2] cputimers/proc: do_task_stat()->task_times() can
	race with getrusage()

do_task_stat()->task_times() can race with getrusage(), they both can
try to update task->prev_Xtime at the same time.

Remove this bit of d180c5bc "sched: Introduce task_times() to replace
task_{u,s}time()".

See also the next patch.
