[PATCH 6/8] kernel/fork: Move task stack account to do_exit().

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 09:36:15 EST


There is no need to perform the stack accounting of the outgoing task in
its final schedule() invocation which happens with disabled preemption.
The task is leaving, the resources will be freed and the accounting can
happen in do_exit() before the actual schedule invocation which
frees the stack memory.

Move the accounting of the stack memory from release_task_stack() to
exit_task_stack_account() which then can be invoked from do_exit().
