It is not ideal to leak bpf_storage here. How about we only add the
following:

diff --git i/kernel/bpf/bpf_task_storage.c w/kernel/bpf/bpf_task_storage.c
index f654b56907b69..2811b9fc47233 100644

+++ w/kernel/bpf/bpf_task_storage.c
@@ -216,6 +216,10 @@ BPF_CALL_4(bpf_task_storage_get, struct bpf_map *, map, struct task_struct *,
         * by an RCU read-side critical section.
         */
        if (flags & BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE) {
+               /* the task_struct is being freed, fail over*/
+               if (!refcount_read(&task->usage))
+                       return -EBUSY;
+
                sdata = bpf_local_storage_update(
                        task, (struct bpf_local_storage_map *)map, value,
                        BPF_NOEXIST);

Good catch! I will fix this in v2. 

Thanks,
