rcu-tasks: Fix low-probability task_struct leak
When rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function detects an RCU Tasks Trace
CPU stall, it adds all tasks blocking the current grace period to
a list, invoking get_task_struct() on each to prevent them from
being freed while on the list. It then traverses that list,
printing stall-warning messages for each one that is still blocking
the current grace period and removing it from the list. The list
removal invokes the matching put_task_struct().
This of course means that in the admittedly unlikely event that some
task executes its outermost rcu_read_unlock_trace() in the meantime, it
won't be removed from the list and put_task_struct() won't be executing,
resulting in a task_struct leak. This commit therefore makes the list
removal and put_task_struct() unconditional, stopping the leak.
Note further that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU
stall warning, which by default only happens after a grace period has
extended for ten minutes (yes, not a typo, minutes).
