Oleg Nesterov 7b34e4283c introduce PF_KTHREAD flag
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads.  It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).

daemonize() was changed as well.  In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.

This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC.  But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
soon.
