Paul E. McKenney 4369ef3c3e [PATCH] Make RCU task_struct safe for oprofile 
Applying RCU to the task structure broke oprofile, because
free_task_notify() can now be called from softirq.  This means that the
task_mortuary lock must be acquired with irq disabled in order to avoid
intermittent self-deadlock.  Since irq is now disabled, the critical
section within process_task_mortuary() has been restructured to be O(1) in
order to maximize scalability and minimize realtime latency degradation.

Kudos to Wu Fengguang for finding this problem!
