Eric W. Biederman 00580f03af kthread: Never put_user the set_child_tid address
Kernel threads abuse set_child_tid.  Historically that has been fine
as set_child_tid was initialized after the kernel thread had been
forked.  Unfortunately storing struct kthread in set_child_tid after
the thread is running makes struct kthread being unusable for storing
result codes of the thread.

When set_child_tid is set to struct kthread during fork that results
in schedule_tail writing the thread id to the beggining of struct
kthread (if put_user does not realize it is a kernel address).

Solve this by skipping the put_user for all kthreads.
