Looks okay, happy with struct vas_win_task? (and vas_user_win_ops)?

I'd be happier to have everything related to vas windows prefixed with 
vas_window_ consistently, and have _user be present always for userspace
windows, but you have to read and type it.

This is not dropping a reference task, but a task reference. And it's 
not really a task reference as far as Linux understands, but a
reference on pid (not task) and mm related to an open vas window. And
specifically a user window (with corresponding vas_user_win_ops).

Could it be called a 'struct vas_window_user_ref' instead?

Thanks,
Nick
