task_work is a LIFO list, due to how it's implemented as a lockless list. For long chains of task_work, this can be problematic as the first entry added is the last one processed. Similarly, we'd waste a lot of CPU cycles reversing this list. Wrap the task_work so we have a single task_work entry per task per ctx, and use that to run it in the right order.

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.
