Subject: [PATCH] exit: move exit_task_namespaces() after exit_task_work()

syzbot reported we have a use-after-free when mqueue_evict_inode()
is called on __cleanup_mnt() path, where the ipc ns is already
freed by the previous exit_task_namespaces(). We can just move
it after after exit_task_work() to avoid this use-after-free.
