Lots.

I restored the patches and just dropped the hunk:

static int has_mm(struct task_struct *p)
{
- return (p->mm && !(p->flags & PF_BORROWED_MM));
}

/**
--- 86,92 ----

static int has_mm(struct task_struct *p)
{
+ return (p->mm && !(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD));
}

due to that function having been turned into:

static inline bool should_send_signal(struct task_struct *p)
{
return !(p->flags & PF_FREEZER_NOSIG);
}

Please check the result?
