sched: hmp: Fix potential task_struct memory leak
We use get_task_struct to increment the ref count on a task_struct so that even if the task dies with a pending migration we are still able to read the memory without causing a fault. In the case of non-running tasks, we forgot to decrement the ref count when we are done with the task.
