[PATCH]: exec: avoid propagating PF_NO_SETAFFINITY into userspace child

From: zhang . yi20
Date: Tue Nov 26 2013 - 21:07:34 EST


Userspace process doesn't want the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY, but its parent may be
a kernel worker thread which has PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, and this worker thread
can do kernel_thread() to create the child.
Clearing this flag in usersapce child to enable its migrating capability.
