Currently, the kthreadd's user_struct has its processes checked against
the RLIMIT_NPROC limit. In cases like for vhost where the driver is making
a thread for userspace, we want the userspace process to have its processes
count checked and incremented.
This patch allows the kthread code to take a user_struct and pass it to
copy_process. The next patches will then convert the fork/cred code.
