[PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing
Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock. Found during OpenVZ stress testing.
