[PATCH 2/2] exit: move check_stack_usage() to the end of do_exit()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Mar 17 2014 - 14:06:27 EST


It is not clear why check_stack_usage() is called so early and
thus it never checks the stack usage in, say, exit_notify() or
flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() or other functions which are only
called by do_exit().

Move the callsite down to the last preempt_disable/schedule.
