Commit 3268c63eded4 ("mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct")
extends the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the permissions checks
are done to prevent the task pointed to from changing from under us. But
the task_struct refcount is also taken at that time, the reference to task
is guaranteed to be stable. So it's unnecessary to extend the period of
the rcu_read_lock. Release the rcu lock after task refcount is successfully
grabbed to reduce the rcu holding time.
