Since I'm the guilty party with that code, I'll confess.  I now understand that
it isn't the correct fix.

It looks like to me from a quick look through the tapsets that all uses of the
task_struct parent field are in embedded-C code.  I think this means that if we
add an "autoconf" test, such as was done for STAPCONF_HRTIMER_REL, that should
fix the problem.
