From: Oleg Nesterov 1. Remove _irqsafe from syscall_regfunc/syscall_unregfunc, read_lock(tasklist) doesn't need to disable irqs. 2. Change this code to avoid the deprecated do_each_thread() and use for_each_process_thread() (stolen from the patch from Frederic). 3. Change syscall_regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD to skip the kernel threads, ->mm != NULL is the common mistake. Note: probably this check should be simply removed, needs another patch.
