------------------------------------------------------
Subject: reparent kernel threads to swapper
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
A lot of kernel threads parented to /sbin/init slow down do_wait() when a
non-detached (user-space) process exits. Change reparent_kthread() to use
init_task as a parent. Since init_task can't go away, we don't need to put
the caller on init_task.children list.
NOTE: pstree doesn't show kernel threads with this patch.
