mm: introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accounting

Browse Source 
xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:

- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
  moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
  rss/vm anyway.

- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy.  An exiting thread can
  be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
  can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between.  When the first thread
  resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
  report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
  account.

Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them.  The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.

Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls.  Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.
