commit 0b8d616fb5a8ffa307b1d3af37f55c15dae14f28 upstream.
When assiging and testing taskstats in taskstats_exit() there's a race when setting up and reading sig->stats when a thread-group with more than one thread exits:
write to 0xffff8881157bbe10 of 8 bytes by task 7951 on cpu 0: taskstats_tgid_alloc kernel/taskstats.c:567 [inline] taskstats_exit+0x6b7/0x717 kernel/taskstats.c:596 do_exit+0x2c2/0x18e0 kernel/exit.c:864 do_group_exit+0xb4/0x1c0 kernel/exit.c:983 get_signal+0x2a2/0x1320 kernel/signal.c:2734 do_signal+0x3b/0xc00 arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:815 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x250/0x2c0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:159 prepare_exit_to_usermode arch/x86/entry/common.c:194 [inline] syscall_return_slowpath arch/x86/entry/common.c:274 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x2d7/0x2f0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:299 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

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