Updated again.

==

task->rss_stat wasn't initialized to 0 at copy_process().
At exit, tsk->mm may be NULL. It's not valid to call sync_mm_rss()
against not exisiting mm_struct, We should check it.
And __sync_task_rss_stat() should be static.
This patch also removes BUG_ON(!mm) in __sync_task_rss_stat().
The code will panic if !mm without it.

Changelog:
- removed BUG_ON()
- added check task->mm in exit.c before calling sync_mm_rss().
