Subject: [PATCH] kernel: move exit_task_work() past exit_notify()

exit_task_work() must be called after exit_notify, because
exit_task_namespaces() may release a file and fput() enqueues a work.

exit_notify
  exit_task_namespaces
    free_ipc_ns
      shm_destroy
        fput
          task_work_add

so if task works don't run after exit_notify(), a few files may leak.
