I see your point about maintaining the linear sequence for better
auditability of the locking and error paths. You're also right about the
TID_TO_TASK drift - checking the immutable ops->flags is indeed the correct
approach.

Regarding the ordering of the task enablement sequence: do you think
it would be useful to be included in the kdoc?

Thanks for your time.
