Subject: [PATCH 5.10 65/73] exit: wait_task_zombie: kill the no longer necessary spin_lock_irq(siglock)

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit c1be35a16b2f1fe21f4f26f9de030ad6eaaf6a25 ]

After the recent changes nobody use siglock to read the values protected
by stats_lock, we can kill spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock) and
update the comment.

With this patch only __exit_signal() and thread_group_start_cputime() take
stats_lock under siglock.
