Subject: taskstats: add_del_listener() should ignore !valid listeners

When send_cpu_listeners() finds the orphaned listener it marks it as
!valid and drops listeners->sem.  Before it takes this sem for writing,
s->pid can be reused and add_del_listener() can wrongly try to re-use
this entry.

Change add_del_listener() to check ->valid = T.
