Merge tag 'kernel-6.15-rc1.tasklist_lock' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Christian Brauner: "According to the performance testbots this brings a 23% performance increase when creating new processes:
- Reduce tasklist_lock hold time on exit: - Perform add_device_randomness() without tasklist_lock - Perform free_pid() calls outside of tasklist_lock
- Drop irq disablement around pidmap_lock
- Add some tasklist_lock asserts
- Call flush_sigqueue() lockless by changing release_task()
- Don't pointlessly clear TIF_SIGPENDING in __exit_signal() -> clear_tsk_thread_flag()"
