From: Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]> get_task_struct(tsk) no longer pins tsk->stack so all users of to_live_kthread() should do try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to protect "struct kthread" which lives on kthread's stack.
TODO: Kill to_live_kthread(), perhaps we can even kill "struct kthread" too, and rework kthread_stop(), it can use task_work_add() to sync with the exiting kernel thread.
