[PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assembling

Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do:

	1) allocate stats
	2) fill stats
	3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes)
	4) copy that copy to skb
	5) free stats

With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly,
thus avoiding all these steps except 2).

So, before this patch:

	// copy *stats to skb->data
	int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats);

	fill_pid(stats);
	mk_reply(skb, ..., stats);

After:
	// return a pointer to skb->data
	struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...);

	stat = mk_reply(skb, ...);
	fill_pid(stats);

Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.

A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the

		real user sys
	before:
		4.02 0.06 3.96
		4.02 0.04 3.98
		4.02 0.04 3.97
	after:
		3.86 0.08 3.78
		3.88 0.10 3.77
		3.89 0.09 3.80

but this looks suspiciously good.
