[PATCH RESEND 1/3] memcg: mm_update_next_owner() should skip kthreads

[Oleg Nesterov]

"Search through everything else" in mm_update_next_owner() can
hit a kthread which adopted this "mm" via use_mm(), it should
not be used as mm->owner. Add the PF_KTHREAD check.

While at it, change this code to use for_each_process_thread()
instead of deprecated do_each_thread/while_each_thread.
