Subject: [PATCH] kthread: set kthread state to TASK_IDLE.

From: liyueyi <liyueyi@...omi.com>

Currently kthread() sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state waiting
for the first wakeup, it may be detected by DETECT_HUNG_TASK if
the first wakeup is coming later. Since kernel has introduced
TASK_IDLE, change kthread state to TASK_IDLE.
