[PATCH] latencytop: fix memory leak on latency proc file

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto
Date: Thu Feb 14 2008 - 13:27:21 EST


From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

At lstats_open(), calling get_proc_task() gets task struct, but it never put.
put_task_struct() should be called when releasing.
