Oleg Nesterov 3716748530 [PATCH] taskstats: cleanup reply assembling

nla_put() in taskstat.c can fail only if the 'size' argument of alloc_skb()
was not right. This is a kernel bug, we should not hide it. So add 'BUG()'
on error path and check for 'na == NULL'.

So we can remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).
