If you don't return, you'll do an invalid memory access the next line.

You add your pcb structure to a list of struct task_structs, this looks
somewhat bogus.

You do possibly destructive operations here, "print" doesn't quite imply
that.

Why do you want to insert your bogus struct after the last task?

The KERN_* constants are a good replacement for a manual "<n>".

This is probably in insert_task.
list_del sets tasks->next to LIST_POISON1 (which is 0x00100100), list_add
tries to access it and segfaults.
