From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 12f7764ac61200e32c916f038bdc08f884b0b604 upstream. switch_fpu_finish() checks current->mm as indicator for kernel threads. That's wrong because kernel threads can temporarily use a mm of a user process via kthread_use_mm(). Check the task flags for PF_KTHREAD instead.
