[PATCH] per-task delay accounting: avoid send without listeners

Browse source 
Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is
listening for such data.

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).

As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed
early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats
structures.
