Peter Zijlstra ef1ea98c8f task_work: Fix NMI race condition ...

__schedule()
  // disable irqs
      <NMI>
	  task_work_add(current, work, TWA_NMI_CURRENT);
      </NMI>
  // current = next;
  // enable irqs
      <IRQ>
	  task_work_set_notify_irq()
	  test_and_set_tsk_thread_flag(current,
                                       TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME); // wrong task!
      </IRQ>
  // original task skips task work on its next return to user (or exit!)

Fixes: 466e4d801c ("task_work: Add TWA_NMI_CURRENT as an additional notify mode.")
