Sorry, I should have given more information.

I was building -mm directly with all these patches applied.  I did not
cherry-pick this exact patch into some other tree.

But I still can not find anything defining `self' in these patches:

$ grep self coredump-*.patch \
	introduce-pf_kthread-flag.patch \
	kill-pf_borrowed_mm-in-favour-of-pf_kthread.patch
coredump-kill-mm-core_done.patch:+                      if (!self.task) /* see coredump_finish() */

cscope finds some other definitions of self in the tree, but nothing
relevant.
