Subject: [PATCH] proc: fix null pointer deref in proc_pid_permission()
42c018e
42c018e
get_proc_task() can fail to search the task and return NULL,
42c018e
put_task_struct() will then bomb the kernel with following oops:

This is a regression introduced by commit 0499680a ("procfs: add hidepid=
42c018e
and gid= mount options").  The kernel should return -ESRCH if
42c018e
get_proc_task() failed.
