[PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory regions. But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.
