Subject: __put_task_struct

Hi,

When using get/put_task_struct from inside a module, kbuild warns about
__put_task_struct being undefined. Can someone export this function?

Why would you use it in a module?

To make sure nobody destroys the task_struct while I'm manipulating it
(of course using task_lock/unlock). I'm just using the same 'lock
strategy' as done in asm/i386/kernel/ptrace.c and I guess that code is
correct.
