sched: Add task_work callback for paranoid L1D flush
The upcoming paranoid L1D flush infrastructure allows to conditionally (opt-in) flush L1D in switch_mm() as a defense against potential new side channels or for paranoia reasons. As the flush makes only sense when a task runs on a non-SMT enabled core, because SMT siblings share L1, the switch_mm() logic will kill a task which is flagged for L1D flush when it is running on a SMT thread. Add a taskwork callback so switch_mm() can queue a SIG_KILL command which is invoked when the task tries to return to user space.
