Subject: [PATCH] mm: sync rss-counters at the end of exit_mm()

On task's exit do_exit() calls sync_mm_rss() but this is not enough,
there can be page-faults after this point, for example exit_mm() ->
mm_release() -> put_user() (for processing tsk->clear_child_tid).
Thus there may be some rss-counters delta in current->rss_stat.
