task_work: use READ_ONCE/lockless_dereference, avoid pi_lock if !task_works
Change task_work_cancel() to use lockless_dereference(), this is what
the code really wants but we didn't have this helper when it was
written.
Also add the fast-path task->task_works == NULL check, in the likely
case this task has no pending works and we can avoid
spin_lock(task->pi_lock).
While at it, change other users of ACCESS_ONCE() to use READ_ONCE().
