sched/rseq: Fix concurrency ID handling of usermodehelper kthreads

sched_mm_cid_after_execve() does not expect NULL t->mm, but it may happen
if a usermodehelper kthread fails when attempting to execute a binary.

sched_mm_cid_fork() can be issued from a usermodehelper kthread, which
has t->flags PF_KTHREAD set.

Fixes: af7f588d8f73 ("sched: Introduce per-memory-map concurrency ID")
