task_work: Introduce task_work_pending

Wrap the test of task->task_works in a helper function to make
it clear what is being tested.

All of the other readers of task->task_work use READ_ONCE and this is
even necessary on current as other processes can update
task->task_work.  So for consistency I have added READ_ONCE into
task_work_pending.
