The recent commit removed put_task_struct() in posix_cpu_timer_del()
results in many memory leaks like this,

unreferenced object 0xc0000016d9b44480 (size 8192):
  comm "timer_create01", pid 57749, jiffies 4295163733 (age 6159.670s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
