Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/3] kill the obsolete thread_group_cputime_free() and
	taskstats_tgid_init() helpers

Trivial, but a separate patch for paranoid reasons.

- Kill the empty thread_group_cputime_free() helper. It was needed
  to free the per-cpu data which we no longer have.

- Kill taskstats_tgid_init(), unneeded since
  "copy_signal() cleanup: use zalloc and remove initializations"
