I reported similar leaks last year -
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/8/422. There is some analysis in the thread
above of the reference counting but I couldn't figure out where it goes
wrong. It looks to me like there isn't any reference to a struct pid
block but its reference count is 2.

There is a bugzilla entry as well -
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13868
