tasks, sched/core: With a grace period after finish_task_switch(), remove unnecessary code
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. Ref:8f95c90ceb
