task_work: Revert "hold task_lock around checks in keyctl" This reverts commit d35abdb28824cf74f0a106a0f9c6f3ff700a35bf. task_lock() was added to ensure exit_mm() and thus exit_task_work() is not possible before task_work_add(). This is wrong, task_lock() must not be nested with write_lock(tasklist). And this is no longer needed, task_work_add() now fails if it is called after exit_task_work().
