[PATCH 5/6] kthread: avoid parsing names as format strings
From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Jun 07 2013 - 19:52:16 EST
Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.
