From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 00b89fe0197f0c55a045775c11553c0cdb7082fe ] For all intents and purposes, the idle task is a per-CPU kthread. It isn't created via the same route as other pcpu kthreads however, and as a result it is missing a few bells and whistles: it fails kthread_is_per_cpu() and it doesn't have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set. Fix the former by giving the idle task a kthread struct along with the KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU flag. This requires some extra iffery as init_idle() call be called more than once on the same idle task.
