mm: kmemleak: ensure that the task stack is not freed during scanning
Commit 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") may cause the task->stack to be freed
during kmemleak_scan() execution, leading to either a NULL pointer fault
(if task->stack is NULL) or kmemleak accessing already freed memory.
This patch uses the new try_get_task_stack() API to ensure that the task
stack is not freed during kmemleak stack scanning.
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173901.
Fixes: 68f24b08ee89 ("sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")
