Subject[v2.6.34-stable 46/77] oprofile: Free potentially owned tasks in case of errors
Date
From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 6ac6519b93065625119a347be1cbcc1b89edb773 upstream.

After registering the task free notifier we possibly have tasks in our
dying_tasks list. Free them after unregistering the notifier in case
of an error.
