taskstats: fix data-race

When assiging and testing taskstats in taskstats_exit() there's a race
when writing and reading sig->stats when a thread-group with more than
one thread exits:

cpu0:
thread catches fatal signal and whole thread-group gets taken down
 do_exit()
 do_group_exit()
 taskstats_exit()
 taskstats_tgid_alloc()
The tasks reads sig->stats without holding sighand lock seeing garbage.

cpu1:
task calls exit_group()
 do_exit()
 do_group_exit()
 taskstats_exit()
 taskstats_tgid_alloc()
The task takes sighand lock and assigns new stats to sig->stats.

Fix this by using smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release().
