powerpc/powernv/vas: Release reference to tgid during window close
The kernel handles the NX fault by updating CSB or sending signal to process. In multithread applications, children can open VAS windows and can exit without closing them. But the parent can continue to send NX requests with these windows. To prevent pid reuse, reference will be taken on pid and tgid when the window is opened and release them during window close. The current code is not releasing the tgid reference which can cause pid leak and this patch fixes the issue.
