    sched/core: Remove 'task' parameter and rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() · 717a94b5

    It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags
    of another thread as there is no locking that can protect
    the update.
    
    So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies
    the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing.
    
    All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have
    accepted that invitation.  It would be best to ensure it remains
    that way.
    
    So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't
    pass in a task_struct pointer.  Always operate on current->flags.
