taskstats: add_del_listener() should ignore !valid listeners
When send_cpu_listeners() finds the orphaned listener it marks it as !valid and drops listeners->sem. Before it takes this sem for writing, s->pid can be reused and add_del_listener() can wrongly try to re-use this entry. Change add_del_listener() to check ->valid = T.
