Hm. ok, I'll change logic as you said.

old ->mm check have two intention.
a) the task is kernel thread?
b) the task have alredy detached ->mm
but a) is not strictly correct check because we should think use_mm().
therefore we appended PF_KTHREAD check. then, here find_lock_task_mm()
focus exiting race, I think.
