[PATCH -mm 4/4] oom: oom_forkbomb_penalty: move thread_group_cputime() out of task_lock()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

It doesn't make sense to call thread_group_cputime() under task_lock(),
we can drop this lock right after we read get_mm_rss() and save the
value in the local variable.

Note: probably it makes more sense to use sum_exec_runtime instead
of utime + stime, it is much more precise. A task can eat a lot of
CPU time, but its Xtime can be zero.
