[PATCH] kernel: move exit_task_work() past exit_notify()

From: Andrey Vagin
Date: Fri Apr 12 2013 - 15:29:58 EST


exit_task_work() must be called after exit_notify, because
exit_task_namespaces() may release a file and fput() enqueues a work.

exit_notify
exit_task_namespaces
free_ipc_ns
shm_destroy
fput
task_work_add

so if task works don't run after exit_notify(), a few files may leak.
