 *
 * Description:
 *   This function causes the currently executing task to cease
 *   to exist.  This is a special case of task_delete() where the task to
 *   be deleted is the currently executing task.  It is more complex because
 *   a context switch must be perform to the next ready to run task.

   * REVISIT: Tt should not be necessary to call this here, but releasing the
   * task group (especially the group file list) requires that it is done
   * here.
   *
   * The reason? up_exit removes the current process from the ready-to-run
   * list and trying to execute code that depends on this_task() crashes at
   * once, or does something very naughty.
