[PATCH] kernel/taskstats.c: return -ENOMEM when alloc memory failsin add_del_listener()

From: Chen Gang
Date: Mon Oct 07 2013 - 08:28:33 EST


For registering in add_del_listener(), when kmalloc_node() fails, need
return -ENOMEM instead of success code, and cmd_attr_register_cpumask()
wants to know about it.

After modification, give a simple common test "build -> boot up ->
kernel/controllers/cgroup/getdelays by LTP tools".
