Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kernel: set USER_DS in kthread_use_mm
Some architectures like arm64 and s390 require USER_DS to be set for
kernel threads to access user address space, which is the whole purpose
of kthread_use_mm, but other like x86 don't. That has lead to a huge
mess where some callers are fixed up once they are tested on said
architectures, while others linger around and yet other like io_uring
try to do "clever" optimizations for what usually is just a trivial
asignment to a member in the thread_struct for most architectures.
Make kthread_use_mm set USER_DS, and kthread_unuse_mm restore to the
previous value instead.
