tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code

Browse Source 
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.
