The task is leaving, the resources will be freed and the accounting can
happen in do_exit() before the actual schedule invocation which
frees the stack memory.

Move the accounting of the stack memory from release_task_stack() to
exit_task_stack_account() which then can be invoked from do_exit().

Seems reasonable.
