[PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing

Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc.  Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.

->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all
things under lock.

Found during OpenVZ stress testing.
