locking/percpu-rwsem: Fix a task_struct refcount
The following commit:
7f26482a872c ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove the embedded rwsem")
introduced task_struct memory leaks due to messing up the task_struct
refcount.
At the beginning of percpu_rwsem_wake_function(), it calls get_task_struct(),
but if the trylock failed, it will remain in the waitqueue. However, it
will run percpu_rwsem_wake_function() again with get_task_struct() to
increase the refcount but then only call put_task_struct() once the trylock
succeeded.
Fix it by adjusting percpu_rwsem_wake_function() a bit to guard against
when percpu_rwsem_wait() observing !private, terminating the wait and
doing a quick exit() while percpu_rwsem_wake_function() then doing
wake_up_process(p) as a use-after-free.
