block: avoid infinite loop in get_task_io_context()



Calling get_task_io_context() on a exiting task which isn't %current can
loop forever. This triggers at boot time on my dev machine.

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s ! [mountall.1603]

Fix this by making create_task_io_context() returns -EBUSY in this case
to break the loop.
