pidfs: Fix memory leak in pidfd_info()

After running the program 'ioctl_pidfd03' of Linux Test Project (LTP) or
the program 'pidfd_info_test' in 'tools/testing/selftests/pidfd' of the
kernel source, kmemleak reports the following memory leaks:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

The leak occurs because pidfd_info() obtains a task_struct via
get_pid_task() but never calls put_task_struct() to drop the reference,
leaving task->usage unbalanced.

Fix the issue by adding '__free(put_task) = NULL' to the local variable
'task', ensuring that put_task_struct() is automatically invoked when
the variable goes out of scope.
