[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation

In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure.  The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt.  But those
members are saved in __exit_signal().  It's too late.

For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads.  (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.

This patch fixes this matter.  Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.
