leak fix
After finally convincing ftrace to capture the _whole_ event, turns out one
leak is simple, SIGCHLD received during fork() triggers fork() failure - proc
was mounted but not unmounted on cleanup.
There's at least one more (not so simple) leak though. The final put_pid() in
softirq context occasionally just goes missing for some as yet unknown reason.
Seems there are some nasty issues open in pid namespace as well, Oleg sent me
this link:
Heh. Please look at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127687751003902
and the whole thread, there are a lot more problems here.
