If the `get_next_task` did not explicitly called child_process_init
and only filled in some fields, there may have been some stale data
in the child process. This is hard to debug and also adds a review
burden for each new user of that API. To improve the situation, we
pass only cleanly initialized child structs to the get_next_task.
