Subject: 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.
