Err...  Details, please, ideally along with a reproducer.  In particular,
I would like to understand what does any of that have to do with umount.
Or to task exits, for that matter - exit_files() is called before
exit_task_work(), so you shouldn't normally be seeing task_work_add()
failures when files get closed on exit(2)...

If you are really observing such problems, it might be worth looking
into the underlying situation - something odd appears to be going
on and I'd rather understand what it is.
