[PATCH 3.16 063/245] taskstats: fix data-race

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0b8d616fb5a8ffa307b1d3af37f55c15dae14f28 upstream.

When assiging and testing taskstats in taskstats_exit() there's a race
when setting up and reading sig->stats when a thread-group with more
than one thread exits:

write to 0xffff8881157bbe10 of 8 bytes by task 7951 on cpu 0:
 taskstats_tgid_alloc kernel/taskstats.c:567 [inline]
 taskstats_exit+0x6b7/0x717 kernel/taskstats.c:596

 do_syscall_64+0x2d7/0x2f0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:299
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

read to 0xffff8881157bbe10 of 8 bytes by task 7949 on cpu 1:
 taskstats_tgid_alloc kernel/taskstats.c:559 [inline]
 taskstats_exit+0xb2/0x717 kernel/taskstats.c:596

 do_syscall_64+0xcf/0x2f0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:296
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Fix this by using smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release().
