This adds another user-visible change. Before the patch, we ignore
->wo_stat if ->wo_info != NULL.

This change looks like the fix to me, but again, this should be
documented/discussed.


I could send the fixes for 3 and 4, but unfortunately Vitaly has
the vacation now. I think it is better to drop

wait_task_-cleanups-split-wait_noreap_copyout.patch
wait_task_-cleanups-use-copy_wait_opts_to_user-in-wait_task_stopped.patch
wait_task_-cleanups-use-copy_wait_opts_to_user-in-do_wait.patch
wait_task_-cleanups-use-copy_wait_opts_to_user-in-wait_task_zombie.patch
wait_task_-cleanups-use-copy_wait_opts_to_user-in-wait_task_continued.patch

patches, and wait for Vitaly to redo/resend.

Oleg.
