ah, that's Peter's stuff:

 4cd4c1b: timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers
 32bd671: signal: re-add dead task accumulation stats.

The discussion with Oleg resulted in the conclusion i 
think that the warning is spurious and should be removed.

I've commited the minimal fix below to tip:master. There's
more fixes needed too but this should solve the warning
flood at least.
