At exit, tsk->mm may be NULL. It's not valid to call sync_mm_rss() against not exisiting mm_struct, We should check it. And __sync_task_rss_stat() should be static. This patch also removes BUG_ON(!mm) in __sync_task_rss_stat(). The code will panic if !mm without it. Changelog: - removed BUG_ON() - added check task->mm in exit.c before calling sync_mm_rss().
