[PATCH] taskstats: don't use tasklist_lock 

Remove tasklist_lock from taskstats.c. find_task_by_pid() is rcu-safe.
->siglock allows us to traverse subthread without tasklist.

Q: delay accounting looks wrong to me.  If sub-thread has already called
taskstats_exit_send() but didn't call release_task(self) yet it will be
accounted twice.  The window is big.  No?
