We have an issue in #3157 where a call to JoinHandle::abort releases a task, causing a panic because the current implementation of release for a thread pool requires it to be called from within a worker context.

This change makes access of the thread-local context optional under release, by falling back to remotely marking a task as dropped. Behaving the same as if the core was stolen by another worker.

Needs a review by someone familiar with the scheduler, cause I'm not entirely sure I've grok:ed the internals well enough.
