[PATCH] bacct_add_tsk: fix unsafe and wrong parent/group_leader dereference

1. ts = timespec_sub(uptime, current->group_leader->start_time);

   It is possible that current != tsk. Probably it was supposed
   to be 'tsk->group_leader->start_time. But why we are reading
   group_leader's start_time ? This accounting is per thread,
   not per procees, I changed this to 'tsk->start_time.
   Please corect me.

2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0;

   tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it.
   Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks
   tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB).
   (And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact).

Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check.
Why it is needed ?
