This reverts commit28319d6dc5. The race it fixed was subject to conditions that don't exist anymore since:1612160b91("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
