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.
