kernel/exit: Compute 'current' directly

This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference (which is
obviously == current), to directly use get_current() macro. In this
case, do_exit() always passes current to exit_mm(), hence we can
simply get rid of the argument. This is also a performance win on some
archs such as x86-64 and ppc64 -- arm64 is no longer an issue.
