[PATCH 5/6] taskstats: kill ->taskstats_lock in favor of ->siglock

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Thu Oct 26 2006 - 19:22:50 EST


signal_struct is (mostly) protected by ->sighand->siglock, I think
we don't need ->taskstats_lock to protect ->stats. This also allows
us to simplify the locking in fill_tgid().
