ACK, but we need to fix it.
With or without this change is_global_init() actually means
is-the-main-thread-of-global-init.
This is not what the callers actually want. Just look at
oom_unkillable_task(). Suppose that p is the sub-thread of
/sbin/init, if we kill this thread we kill the whole process.
The same of other callers. is_global_init() should return T
if this task is the part of init's thread group.
