[PATCH 1/5] vfork: don't freezer_count() for in-kernel users of CLONE_VFORK

[Mandeep Singh Baines]

We don't need to call freezer_do_not_count() for in-kernel users
of CLONE_VFORK since exec will get called in bounded time.

We don't want to call freezer_count() for in-kernel users because
they may be holding locks. freezer_count() calls try_to_freeze().
We don't want to freeze an in-kernel user because it may be
holding locks.

Changes since v1:
* <20130215152840.GC30829@xxxxxxxxxx> Oleg Nesterov
 * Use (p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) checks instead of p->mm.
