latencytop: fix kernel panic while reading latency proc file
Reading /proc/<pid>/latency or /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/latency could cause
NULL pointer dereference.
In lstats_open(), get_proc_task() can return NULL, in which case the kernel
will oops at lstats_show_proc() because m->private is NULL.
When get_proc_task() returns NULL, the kernel should return -ENOENT.
This can be reproduced by the following script.
while :
do
date
bash -c 'ls > ls.$$' &
pid=$!
cat /proc/$pid/latency &
cat /proc/$pid/latency &
cat /proc/$pid/latency &
cat /proc/$pid/latency
done
