I think we can put refcount_inc_not_zero() in bpf_task_storage_get, like:

diff --git i/kernel/bpf/bpf_task_storage.c w/kernel/bpf/bpf_task_storage.c
index f654b56907b69..93d01b0a010e6 100644

        if (flags & BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE) {
+               if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&task->usage))
+                       return -EBUSY;
+
                sdata = bpf_local_storage_update(
                        task, (struct bpf_local_storage_map *)map, value,
                        BPF_NOEXIST);

But where shall we add the refcount_dec()? IIUC, we cannot add it to 
__put_task_struct().
