applied your changes to tip/core/signal:

2b5fe6d: thread_group_cputime: move a couple of callsites outside of ->siglock
ce39447: thread_group_cputime: kill the bogus ->signal != NULL check
74fcd52: account_steal_time: kill the unneeded account_group_system_time()

(merged the sched/urgent fixlet before them)

thanks Oleg!
