Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] taskstats: fix sk_buff leak

'return genlmsg_cancel()' in taskstats_user_cmd/taskstats_exit_send
potentially leaks a skb.  Unless we pass 'rep_skb' to the netlink layer
we own sk_buff.  This means we should always do kfree_skb() on failure.

[ Thomas acked and pointed out missing return value in original version ]
