I see that you removed the proc_map_release() call for the upper
error case as I recommended. However, for the second error case,
you do have to call it because do_maps_open() succeeded.
You could fix this by turning the first "goto error;" into
"return;" and adding the proc_map_release() call back in after
the "error:" label. This would be fine - if an error branch just
needs to return an error code, it's okay to do so directly
without jumping to an error label.
Alternatively, you could add a second label
in front of the existing "error:" label, jump to the new label
for the second error case, and call proc_map_release() between
the new label and the old one.

As I said regarding v2 already:
This won't release priv->task, causing a memory leak (exploitable
through a reference counter overflow of the task_struct usage
counter).
