I think this should be fixed somewhere else...

Exactly. And note that with this patch exit_mm()..disassociate_ctty() paths
can't use task works.

Not to mention that this patch moves exit_files() up, even before exit_mm(),
without any explanation.

Add Al. May be we can move exit_fs() down after exit_task_work(), I dunno,
but to me it would be better to change the driver.
