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: [<ffffffffa06985a3>] ppp_register_channel+0x13/0x20 [ppp_generic]
...
Call Trace:
[<ffffffffa06ab2ab>] ? ppp_asynctty_open+0x12b/0x170 [ppp_async]
[<ffffffff812ec907>] ? tty_ldisc_open.isra.2+0x27/0x60

[<ffffffff810483c2>] ? 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().
