posix-cpu-timers: Fix nanosleep task_struct leak
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit e6c42c2 upstream.

The trinity fuzzer triggered a task_struct reference leak via
clock_nanosleep with CPU_TIMERs. do_cpu_nanosleep() calls
posic_cpu_timer_create(), but misses a corresponding
posix_cpu_timer_del() which leads to the task_struct reference leak.
