[PATCH 3/3] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()

[PATCH 3/3] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()

[Oleg Nesterov]

task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent.
However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below
happen in order

	1) release_task(task)		
	2) release_task(task->parent)
	3) a grace period passed

But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so
pid_alive() can't be true in such a case.

Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.
