Since I never polished up my task_struct/current fix patch enough to
get it past RFC status during this development window (new job, stolen
laptop, etc.) *and* it looks like you are going to need at least one
more respin of this patchset, go ahead and fix this patch to use
current instead of generating a local context. I'll deal with the
merge fallout if/when it happens.

Local contexts are a last resort. If you ever find yourself writing
code that generates a local context, you should first be 100% certain
that the event is not the the result of a process initiated action (in
which case it should take from the task's context).
