[PATCH -mm 1/2] rename is_single_threaded(task) to is_current_single_threaded(void)

(on top of rework-fix-is_single_threaded.patch)

- is_single_threaded(task) is not safe unless task == current,
  we can't use task->signal or task->mm.

- it doesn't make sense unless task == current, the task can
  fork right after the check.

Rename it to is_current_single_threaded() and kill the argument.
