taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications

delay accounting started populating taskstats records with a valid version
field via fill_pid() and fill_tgid().

Later, commit ad4ecbcba728 ("[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface
send tgid once") changed the TGID exit path to send the cached
signal->stats aggregate directly instead of building the outgoing record
through fill_tgid().  Unlike fill_tgid(), fill_tgid_exit() only
accumulates accounting data and never initializes stats->version.

As a result, TGID exit notifications can reach userspace with version == 0
even though PID exit notifications and TASKSTATS_CMD_GET replies carry a
valid taskstats version.

This is easy to reproduce with `tools/accounting/getdelays.c`.

I have a small follow-up patch for that tool which:

1. increases the receive buffer/message size so the pid+tgid
   combined exit notification is not dropped/truncated

2. prints `stats->version`.

With that patch, the reproducer is:

  Terminal 1:
    ./getdelays -d -v -l -m 0

  Terminal 2:
    taskset -c 0 python3 -c 'import threading,time; t=threading.Thread(target=time.sleep,args=(0.1,)); t.start(); t.join()'

That produces both PID and TGID exit notifications for the same
process.  The PID exit record reports a valid taskstats version, while
the TGID exit record reports `version 0`.


This patch (of 2):

Set stats->version = TASKSTATS_VERSION after copying the cached TGID
aggregate into the outgoing netlink payload so all taskstats records are
self-describing again.
