Subject: [PATCH 1/3] exit: always reap resource stats in __exit_signal

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>

Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics
to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should
also propagate the statistics at exit time.

This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics
after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread,
but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no
non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.
