Remove work arounds that were written before there was a grace period after tasks left the runqueue in finish_task_switch(). In particular now that there tasks exiting the runqueue exprience a RCU grace period none of the work performed by task_rcu_dereference() excpet the rcu_dereference() is necessary so replace task_rcu_dereference() with rcu_dereference(). Remove the code in rcuwait_wait_event() that checks to ensure the current task has not exited. It is no longer necessary as it is guaranteed that any running task will experience a RCU grace period after it leaves the run queueue. Remove the comment in rcuwait_wake_up() as it is no longer relevant.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
