Subject: kernel/locking: compute current directly
This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference (which is
obviously == current), to directly use get_current() macro. This is to
make the removal of setting foreign task states smoother and painfully
obvious. Performance win on some archs such as x86-64 and ppc64. On a
microbenchmark that calls set_task_state() vs set_current_state() and an
inode rwsem pounding benchmark doing unlink:
