tasks: Add a count of task RCU users
Add a count of the number of RCU users (currently 1) of the task struct so that we can later add the scheduler case and get rid of the very subtle task_rcu_dereference(), and just use rcu_dereference(). As suggested by Oleg have the count overlap rcu_head so that no additional space in task_struct is required.
