When the umem is cleaned up, the task that created it might already be gone. If the task was gone, the xdp_umem_release function did not free the pages member of struct xdp_umem. It turned out that the task lookup was not needed at all; The code was a left-over when we moved from task accounting to user accounting [1]. This patch fixes the memory leak by removing the task lookup logic completely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
