#1550232 — [PATCH 1/4] kernel/exit: Compute current directly

This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference
(which is obviously == current), to directly use get_current()
macro. In this case, do_exit() always passes current to exit_mm(),
hence we can simply get rid of the arg. This is also a performance
win on some archs such as x86-64 and ppc64 -- arm64 is no longer
an issue:

XXX: do_exit() could further be cleaned up and we'd endup getting
rid of tsk for a lot of the exit_*() calls.
