kasan: record task_work_add() call stack
Why record task_work_add() call stack? Syzbot reports many use-after-free issues for task_work, see [1]. After seeing the free stack and the current auxiliary stack, we think they are useless, we don't know where the work was registered. This work may be the free call stack, so we miss the root cause and don't solve the use-after-free. Add the task_work_add() call stack into the KASAN auxiliary stack in order to improve KASAN reports. It helps programmers solve use-after-free issues.
