[PATCH 5.12 141/178] x86/process: Check PF_KTHREAD and not current->mm for kernel threads

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 12f7764ac61200e32c916f038bdc08f884b0b604 upstream.

switch_fpu_finish() checks current->mm as indicator for kernel threads.
That's wrong because kernel threads can temporarily use a mm of a user
process via kthread_use_mm().

Check the task flags for PF_KTHREAD instead.
