mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current()
Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races unless the task is frozen in kernel mode. As far as I know, vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case. The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this patch.
