[PATCH v2 0/2] taskstats: fix TGID dead-thread stat retention

[Yiyang Chen]

This series fixes a taskstats TGID aggregation bug where fields added in
the TGID query path were not preserved after thread exit, and adds a
kselftest covering the regression.

The first patch keeps the cached TGID aggregate used for dead threads in
step with the fields already accumulated for live threads, and also fixes
the final TGID exit notification emitted when group_dead is true.

The second patch adds a kselftest that verifies TGID CPU stats do not
regress after a worker thread exits and has been reaped.

  taskstats: retain dead thread stats in TGID queries
  selftests/acct: add taskstats TGID retention test

Changes in v2:

  TGID exit notification
