[PATCH 4.11 68/78] sched/core: Idle_task_exit() shouldnt use switch_mm_irqs_off()

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 252d2a4117bc181b287eeddf848863788da733ae upstream.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().

This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes. Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial. There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.
