task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks

Browse source 
Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.

The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit().  The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case.

"struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.

This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.

Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit().  But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().

Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock.  This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING.  Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.
