[PATCH] cxl: Fix struct pid leak when attaching a process through kernel API

When the cxl driver creates a context, it stores the pid of the
calling task, and mistakenly increments the reference count of the
struct pid twice, once through get_task_pid(), once through
get_pid(). The reference count is only decremented once on detach. As
a result, a struct pid is leaked and it reduces the number of
processes that can run simultaneously by one.
The fix is to simply remove the call to get_pid().

There is a separate patch for the user API, since it goes to
different kernel versions.
