keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add()
Change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add() and move key_replace_session_keyring() logic into task_work->func(). Note that we do task_work_cancel() before task_work_add() to ensure that only one work can be pending at any time. This is important, we must not allow user-space to abuse the parent's ->task_works list. The callback, replace_session_keyring(), checks PF_EXITING. I guess this is not really needed but looks better. As a side effect, this fixes the (unlikely) race. The callers of key_replace_session_keyring() and keyctl_session_to_parent() lack the necessary barriers, the parent can miss the request. Now we can remove task_struct->replacement_session_keyring and related code.
