From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: vm_is_stack: use for_each_thread() rather then buggy while_each_thread()
Aleksei hit the soft lockup during reading /proc/PID/smaps. David
investigated the problem and suggested the right fix.
while_each_thread() is racy and should die, this patch updates
vm_is_stack().
