4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a05b82d5149dfeef05254a11c3636a89a854520a upstream. In some error paths in functions cxl_start_context and afu_ioctl_start_work pid references to the current & group-leader tasks can leak after they are taken. This patch fixes these error paths to release these pid references before exiting the error path.
