With kernel threads on architectures that still have set_fs/get_fs
running as KERNEL_DS moving force_uaccess_begin does not appear safe.
Calling force_uaccess_begin is a noop on anything people care about.
Update the comment to explain why this code while looking like an
obvious candidate for moving to make_task_dead probably needs to
remain in do_exit until set_fs/get_fs are entirely removed from the
kernel.
Fixes: 05ea0424f0 ("exit: Move oops specific logic from do_exit into make_task_dead")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
