[PATCH 8/9] iommu/amd: Don't hold a reference to task_struct

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Since we are only caring about the lifetime of the mm_struct
and not the task we can't safely keep a reference to it. The
reference is also not needed anymore, so remove that code
entirely.
