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.
