Do you have munmap() performance dependent workload that you are
concerned about regressing?
exit(2) path is performance critical for many workloads. Like, if you
need to restart VM.
That is not enough to see any impact, although less overall work would
be done during the exit call.

It would be very difficult to come up with a scenario that this would
have a measurable difference and an even harder time to come up with one
that is slower.
