[04/16] oprofile: Free potentially owned tasks in case of errors

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

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.
