(depends on "[PATCH 1/2] lock_task_sighand: add rcu lock/unlock",
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120335433821564)
lock_task_sighand() was changed, and do_task_stat() doesn't need rcu_read_lock
any longer. sighand->siglock protects all "interesting" fields.
Except: it doesn't protect ->tty->pgrp, but neither does rcu_read_lock(), this
should be fixed.
