Davidlohr Bueso d269a8b8c5 kernel/locking: Compute 'current' directly 
This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference
(which is obviously == current), to directly use get_current()
macro. This is to make the removal of setting foreign task
states smoother and painfully obvious. Performance win on some
archs such as x86-64 and ppc64. On a microbenchmark that calls
set_task_state() vs set_current_state() and an inode rwsem
pounding benchmark doing unlink:

== 1. x86-64 ==
