function-graph: always initialize task ret_stack
On creating a new task while running the function graph tracer, if we fail to allocate the ret_stack, and then fail the fork, the code will free the parent ret_stack. This is because the child duplicated the parent and currently points to the parent's ret_stack. This patch always initializes the task's ret_stack to NULL. [ Impact: prevent crash of parent on low memory during fork ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
