Subject: [PATCH] mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
do_exit() and exec_mmap() call sync_mm_rss() before mm_release() does
put_user(clear_child_tid) which can update task->rss_stat and thus make
mm->rss_stat inconsistent. This triggers the "BUG:" printk in check_mm().
Let's fix this bug in the safest way, and optimize/cleanup this later.
