Sparse reports a warning at exit_tasks_rcu_start(void)
|warning: context imbalance in exit_tasks_rcu_start() - wrong count at exit
To fix this, an __acquires(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu) is added.
Given that exit_tasks_rcu_start() does actually call __srcu_read_lock().
This not only fixes the warning
but also improves on the readability of the code.
