The seccomp filter used to be released in free_task() which is called asynchronously via call_rcu() and assorted mechanisms. Since we need to inform tasks waiting on the seccomp notifier when a filter goes empty we will notify them as soon as a task has been marked fully dead in release_task(). To not split seccomp cleanup into two parts, move filter release out of free_task() and into release_task() after we've unhashed struct task from struct pid, exited signals, and unlinked it from the threadgroups' thread list. We'll put the empty filter notification infrastructure into it in a follow up patch. This also renames put_seccomp_filter() to seccomp_filter_release() which is a more descriptive name of what we're doing here especially once we've added the empty filter notification mechanism in there. We're also NULL-ing the task's filter tree entrypoint which seems cleaner than leaving a dangling pointer in there. Note that this shouldn't need any memory barriers since we're calling this when the task is in release_task() which means it's EXIT_DEAD. So it can't modify its seccomp filters anymore. You can also see this from the point where we're calling seccomp_filter_release(). It's after __exit_signal() and at this point, tsk->sighand will already have been NULLed which is required for thread-sync and filter installation alike.

README
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.
