proc: Put thread_pid in release_task not proc_flush_pid
Oleg pointed out that in the unlikely event the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_PROC_FS unset that release_task will now leak the pid. Move the put_pid out of proc_flush_pid into release_task to fix this and to guarantee I don't make that mistake again. When possible it makes sense to keep get and put in the same function so it can easily been seen how they pair up. Fixes: 7bc3e6e55acf ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc") Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
