Oleg Nesterov 39f17c7074 sched/task.h: fix the wrong comment on task_lock() nesting with tasklist_lock
The ancient comment above task_lock() states that it can be nested outside
of read_lock(&tasklist_lock), but this is no longer true:

  CPU_0			CPU_1			CPU_2

  task_lock()		read_lock(tasklist)
  						write_lock_irq(tasklist)
  read_lock(tasklist)	task_lock()

Unless CPU_0 calls read_lock() in IRQ context, queued_read_lock_slowpath()
won't get the lock immediately, it will spin waiting for the pending
writer on CPU_2, resulting in a deadlock.
