prctl_enable_tagged_addr() checks "task->mm != current->mm".
Should we check the same here for consistency? Or also change the
check in prctl_enable_tagged_addr().

arch_prctl() can only do task==current, so I guess "current != task"
is a more reasonable check for prctl_enable_tagged_addr() as well.
