[PATCH] revert "Optimize sys_times for a single thread process"

Browse Source 
This patch reverts 'CONFIG_SMP && thread_group_empty()' optimization in
sys_times().  The reason is that the next patch breaks memory ordering which
is needed for that optimization.

tasklist_lock in sys_times() will be eliminated completely by further patch.
