This should be

	need_lock = !(p == current && thread_group_empty(p));


I think we should cleanup k_getrusage() first, see the patch below.

Do you agree with that patch? If yes, could you make the new one on
top of it? (please send them both to Andrew).

Note that after this cleanup we don't have code duplication.


[PATCH] simplify k_getrusage()

Factor out common code for different RUSAGE_xxx cases.

Don't take ->sighand->siglock in RUSAGE_SELF case, suggested
by Ravikiran G Thirumalai.
