Yes a lot of kernel code gets called on behalf of a userland process, however that does not give the kernel code a process id. In fact kernel code gets called for things like interrupts too. Don't consider it as kernel code with process ids, but rather as kernel code executing on behalf of the calling "thread of execution". Be it interrupt context, user context, kernel context etc etc...
