trim task_work: get rid of hlist
layout based on Oleg's suggestion; single-linked list, task->task_works points to the last element, forward pointer from said last element points to head. I'd still prefer much more regular scheme with two pointers in task_work, but... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
