Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix refcount leak and possible NULL pointer dereference.

Since get_pid_task() grabs a reference on the task_struct, we have to drop the
refcount after reading that task's comm name. Also, directly reading like
get_pid_task()->comm can trigger an oops when get_pid_task() returned NULL.

This patch fixes both problems.
