Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Christian Brauner:
"According to the performance testbots this brings a 23% performance
increase when creating new processes:
- Reduce tasklist_lock hold time on exit:
- Perform add_device_randomness() without tasklist_lock
- Perform free_pid() calls outside of tasklist_lock
- Drop irq disablement around pidmap_lock
- Add some tasklist_lock asserts
- Call flush_sigqueue() lockless by changing release_task()
- Don't pointlessly clear TIF_SIGPENDING in __exit_signal() ->
clear_tsk_thread_flag()"
