exit: call disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces()
commit c39df5fa37b0623589508c95515b4aa1531c524e upstream. Commit 8aac62706ada ("move exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()") breaks pppd and the exiting service crashes the kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: ppp_register_channel+0x13/0x20 [ppp_generic] Call Trace: ppp_asynctty_open+0x12b/0x170 [ppp_async] tty_ldisc_open.isra.2+0x27/0x60 tty_ldisc_hangup+0x1e3/0x220 __tty_hangup+0x2c4/0x440 disassociate_ctty+0x61/0x270 do_exit+0x7f2/0xa50 ppp_register_channel() needs ->net_ns and current->nsproxy == NULL. Move disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces(), it doesn't make sense to delay it after perf_event_exit_task() or cgroup_exit(). This also allows to use task_work_add() inside the (nontrivial) code paths in disassociate_ctty(). Investigated by Peter Hurley.
