uid_cputime: Avoids double accounting of process stime, utime and cpu_power in task exit.

This avoids the race where a particular process is terminating and we read the
show_uid_stats. At this time since the task_struct still exists and we will account
for the terminating process as one of the active task, where as the stats would have
been added in the task exit callback.

When the task is terminated, the cpu_power for that particular task is added to the
terminated tasks. It is possible that before the task releases all the resources, cpu
reschedules the task or a timer interrupt is fired. At this point we will try to add
the additional time to the process, which will cause the accounting to be skewed. This
avoids that race condition.
