SubjectRe: [PATCH] xacct_add_tsk: fix pure theoretical ->mm use-after-free

Why this change is necessary? This routine is indirectly invoked by
taskstats_exit_send() routine called inside do_exit():

do_exit()
{
...
taskstats_exit_send(tsk, tidstats, group_dead, mycpu);
taskstats_exit_free(tidstats);
delayacct_tsk_exit(tsk);

exit_mm(tsk);
...
}

The mm is freed in exit_mm(), right?
