[PATCH] MIPS: Use rcu to lookup a task in mipsmt_sys_sched_setaffinity()
From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Aug 31 2020 - 16:29:37 EST
The call simply looks up the corresponding task (without iterating
the tasklist), which is safe under rcu instead of the tasklist_lock.
In addition, the setaffinity counter part already does this.
