    block: avoid infinite loop in get_task_io_context() · 3c9c708c

    Calling get_task_io_context() on a exiting task which isn't %current can
    loop forever. This triggers at boot time on my dev machine.
    
    BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s ! [mountall.1603]
    
    Fix this by making create_task_io_context() returns -EBUSY in this case
    to break the loop.
