Well, this connects to the "Note:" part of the changelog, I don't
this the comment can really explain this.

But note that this fix is not enough in the long term _unless_ we
ensure that another workueue callback can not call kernel_thread()
without CLONE_PARENT. And this is what I am going to do.

I'll send in a minute, I tried to update the comment/changelog.
