taskstats: fix data-race



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:

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