Subject: [PATCH] seccomp: fix refcounter leak if fork/clone is terminated

release_task, where the seccomp's filter refcounter is released, is not
called for the case when the fork/clone is terminated midway by a
signal. This leaves an extra reference that prevents filter from being
destroyed even after all processes using it exit leading to a BPF JIT
memory leak. Dereference the refcounter in the failure path of the
copy_process function.

Fixes: 3a15fb6ed92c ("seccomp: release filter after task is fully dead")
