sched: membarrier: cover kthread_use_mm (v4) Add comments and memory barrier to kthread_use_mm and kthread_unuse_mm to allow the effect of membarrier(2) to apply to kthreads accessing user-space memory as well. Given that no prior kthread use this guarantee and that it only affects kthreads, adding this guarantee does not affect user-space ABI. Refine the check in membarrier_global_expedited to exclude runqueues running the idle thread rather than all kthreads from the IPI cpumask. Now that membarrier_global_expedited can IPI kthreads, the scheduler also needs to update the runqueue's membarrier_state when entering lazy TLB state.
