Subject: [PATCH 3/9] staging: lowmemorykiller: Fix task_struct leak

From: San Mehat <san@...gle.com>

As it turns out, the CONFIG_PROFILING interfaces leak a
task struct if the notifier chain returns NOTIFY_OK.. doh.

This patch reworks lowmemkiller to use the new generic task
free notifier chain.
