Fixed in commit 8e794e9 (which also fixes a couple of places to handle memory
allocation failures better).

Regression tested on:

RHEL4:   2.6.9-100.ELsmp (i686)
RHEL5:   2.6.18-274.el5debug (x86_64)
RHEL6:   2.6.32-192.el6.x86_64.debug (x86_64)
f15:     2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686.debug (i686)
rawhide: 3.0.1-6.fc17.x86_64 (x86_64)

Note that this came up while working on bug #10994.  During some utrace probe
handlers, memory allocation is done (typically to allocate space for a
pathname).  That is fine, since utrace probe handlers are run in a sleepable
context.

However, the new utrace-free task_finder will be implemented via tracepoints,
and tracepoint probe handers are not run in a sleepable context.
