latencytop: fix kernel panic while reading latency proc file

Reading /proc/<pid>/latency or /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/latency could cause
NULL pointer dereference.

In lstats_open(), get_proc_task() can return NULL, in which case the kernel
will oops at lstats_show_proc() because m->private is NULL.

When get_proc_task() returns NULL, the kernel should return -ENOENT.

This can be reproduced by the following script.
while :
do
        date
        bash -c 'ls > ls.$$' &
        pid=$!
        cat /proc/$pid/latency &
        cat /proc/$pid/latency &
        cat /proc/$pid/latency &
        cat /proc/$pid/latency
done
