[PATCH] de_thread: Use tsk not current.

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function it
is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy of
current in another variable.  This patch implements that for the de_thread
function.
