[PATCH] sched: Drop try_get_task_struct()

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Wed Jun 14 2017 - 22:38:41 EST


This function was introduced by 150593b (sched/api: Introduce
task_rcu_dereference() and try_get_task_struct()), to allow
easier usage of task_rcu_dereference(), however no users
were ever added. Drop the helper.
