Since commit 11e8afea (runqueue should call the complete handler from
more places) the call to the complete() callback has been moved to
runqueue_task_complete().  However in runqueue_task_kill()
runqueue_task_complete() is called before the kill() callback.  This
will result in a use after free if the complete() callback frees the
task struct.

Furthermore runqueue_start_next() is already called at the end of
runqueue_task_complete(), so there is no need to call it again in
runqueue_task_kill().

The issue was that the _complete() callback frees the memory used by the
task struct, which is then read after the _complete() callback returns.
