[PATCH] Fix taskstats size calculation (use the new genetlink utility functions)

The addition of the CSA patch pushed the size of struct taskstats to 256
bytes.  This exposed a problem with prepare_reply(), we were not allocating
space for the netlink and genetlink header.  It worked earlier because
alloc_skb() would align the skb to SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which added some additonal
bytes.
