Revert "rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()"
This reverts commit 28319d6dc5e2ffefa452c2377dd0f71621b5bff0. The race it fixed was subject to conditions that don't exist anymore since: 1612160b9127 ("rcu-tasks: Eliminate deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks") This latter commit removes the use of SRCU that used to cover the RCU-tasks blind spot on exit between the tasklist's removal and the final preemption disabling. The task is now placed instead into a temporary list inside which voluntary sleeps are accounted as RCU-tasks quiescent states. This would disarm the deadlock initially reported against PID namespace exit.
