Can't understand how this can affect task_work.c...

Well, task_work_add() does test_and_set_bit(), so that patch actually
changes this code, but still I can't see how this can lead to these
OOPSes.

Fengguang, I do not think this will help, but just in case. Could you
show the result of

	$ kernel/task_work.s

?

Oleg.
