The cgroup_procs_write_start() took a reference to the task structure
which was not properly released within cgroup_procs_write() and so
on. So a put_task_struct() call is added to cgroup_procs_write_finish()
to match the get_task_struct() in cgroup_procs_write_start() to fix
this reference counting error.
