sched/core: Add try_get_task_stack() and put_task_stack()

commit c6c314a613cd7d03fb97713e0d642b493de42e69 upstream.

There are a few places in the kernel that access stack memory
belonging to a different task.  Before we can start freeing task
stacks before the task_struct is freed, we need a way for those code
paths to pin the stack.
