    tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code · 154abafc
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period
    after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch().
    
    In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience
    a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference()
    excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference()
    with rcu_dereference().
    
    Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current
    task has not exited.  It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed
    that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it
    leaves the run queueue.
    
    Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.
