[PATCH 3/3] exit: wait_task_zombie: kill the no longer necessary spin_lock_irq(siglock)

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Tue Jan 23 2024 - 10:43:28 EST


After the recent changes nobody use siglock to read the values protected
by stats_lock, we can kill spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock) and
update the comment.

With this patch only __exit_signal() and thread_group_start_cputime() take
stats_lock under siglock.
