Subject: [PATCH v1 2/6] x86/resctrl: Add hook for releasing task_struct references

In order for the task_struct to hold references to rdtgroups, it must be
possible to release these references before a concurrent deletion causes
them to be freed.

It is not possible for resctrl code to do this with
for_each_process_thread() because the task can still switch in after it
has been removed from the tasklist, at which point the task_struct could
be referring to freed memory.
