block: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in exit_io_context()
6e736be7 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction" added WARN_ON_ONCE() in exit_io_context() which triggers if !PF_EXITING. All tasks hitting exit_io_context() from task exit should have PF_EXITING set but task struct tearing down after fork failure calls into the function without PF_EXITING, triggering the condition.
