[PATCH] taskstats_tgid_free: fix usage
taskstats_tgid_free() is called on copy_process's error path. This is wrong. IF (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD) We should not clear ->signal->taskstats, current uses it, it probably has a valid accumulated info. ELSE taskstats_tgid_init() set ->signal->taskstats = NULL, there is nothing to free. Move the callsite to __exit_signal(). We don't need any locking, entire thread group is exiting, nobody should have a reference to soon to be released ->signal.
