[PATCH] taskstats: fix? sk_buff leak

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

Compile tested only, and I know nothing about net/. Needs an ack from
maintainer.

'return genlmsg_cancel()' in taskstats_user_cmd/taskstats_exit_send looks
wrong to me. Unless we pass 'rep_skb' to the netlink layer we own sk_buff,
yes? This means we should always do kfree_skb() on failure.
