This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in task_work_run() with a spin_lock_irq() and a spin_unlock_irq() aruond the cmpxchg() dequeue loop. This should be safe from a performance perspective because ->pi_lock is local to the task and because calls to the other side of the race, task_work_cancel(), should be rare.
