From: Kaushlendra Kumar <kaushlendra.ku...@intel.com> Remove unnecessary kfree(main_task) call in ref_scale_cleanup() as torture_stop_kthread() already handles the memory cleanup for the task structure internally.
The additional kfree(main_task) call after torture_stop_kthread() is redundant and confusing since torture_stop_kthread() sets the pointer to NULL, making this a no-op. This pattern is consistent with other torture test modules where torture_stop_kthread() is called without explicit kfree() of the task pointer, as the torture framework manages the task lifecycle internally.
