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