sched: Add task_work callback for paranoid L1D flush
The upcoming paranoid L1D flush infrastructure allows to conditionally
(opt-in) flush L1D in switch_mm() as a defense against potential new side
channels or for paranoia reasons. As the flush makes only sense when a task
runs on a non-SMT enabled core, because SMT siblings share L1, the
switch_mm() logic will kill a task which is flagged for L1D flush when it
is running on a SMT thread.
Add a taskwork callback so switch_mm() can queue a SIG_KILL command which
is invoked when the task tries to return to user space.
