Subject: [PATCH] getrusage: use sig->stats_lock rather than
 lock_task_sighand()

lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
getrusage() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq
will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.

Change getrusage() to use sig->stats_lock, it was specifically designed
for this type of use. This way it runs lockless in the likely case.

TODO:
	- Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock too, then we can
	  remove spin_lock_irq(siglock) in wait_task_zombie().

	- Turn sig->stats_lock into seqcount_rwlock_t, this way the
	  readers in the slow mode won't exclude each other. See
	  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913154907.GA26210@redhat.com/

	- stats_lock has to disable irqs because ->siglock can be taken
	  in irq context, it would be very nice to change __exit_signal()
	  to avoid the siglock->stats_lock dependency.
