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.

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.
