looks good.

Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

while the code is now consolidated, i think we still need the separate
fork/exec stats for schedstat. We have 3 conceptual ways to start off a
new context: fork(), pthread_create() and execve(), and applications use
them in different patterns. We have different flags and tuning
parameters for two of them (which might have to become 3, i'm not
entirely convinced we'll be able to ignore the 'process vs. thread'
condition in wake_up_new_task(), STREAM is a really bad example in that
sense), so we need 2 (or 3) separate stats.
