Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mm/kmemleak: Improve scan_should_stop() implementation

This series improves the scan_should_stop() function by addressing code
quality issues and enhancing kernel thread detection robustness.

Patch 1 removes unreachable code that serves no purpose.

Patch 2 replaces current->mm with PF_KTHREAD for more reliable and
explicit kernel thread detection.

Zhongqiu Han (2):
  mm/kmemleak: Remove unreachable return statement in scan_should_stop()
  mm/kmemleak: Use PF_KTHREAD flag to detect kernel threads
