[PATCH] cxl: Fix reference count on struct pid when attaching

When the cxl driver creates a context, it stores the pid of the
calling task, incrementing the reference count on the struct
pid. Current code mistakenly increments the reference count twice,
once through get_task_pid(), once through get_pid(). The reference
count is only decremented once on detach, thus the struct pid of the
task attaching is never freed. The fix is to simply remove the call to
get_pid().
