    thread_group_cputime: kill the bogus ->signal != NULL check · ce394471

    Impact: simplify the code
    
    thread_group_cputime() is called by current when it must have the valid
    ->signal, or under ->siglock, or under tasklist_lock after the ->signal
    check, or the caller is wait_task_zombie() which reaps the child. In any
    case ->signal can't be NULL.
    
    But the point of this patch is not optimization. If it is possible to call
    thread_group_cputime() when ->signal == NULL we are doing something wrong,
    and we should not mask the problem. thread_group_cputime() fills *times
    and the caller will use it, if we silently use task_struct->*times* we
    report the wrong values.
