I missed this in v4. New kernel threads do take that path, but
context_switch() does not call switch_mm() for a task without an mm, so
they never set asn_lock in the first place. Only a new user task leaves
it set. As written, the two paragraphs read as if both do.

Changelog only, and not worth a v6. My Reviewed-by stands.
