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.
