How about calling this one fill_threadgroup_stats()?

How about we call function add_tsk_stats()?

So we always call fill_threadgroup later, is there a reason for
that. Can the order of calls be arbitrary or is there a dependency?

I still prefer braces around do <--> while, I think the code is easier
to read with them.

Could we further split the tsacct and delayacct/taskstats patches.
