kthread: Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race
The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:
if ((p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) && kthread_is_per_cpu(p))
However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1 (running p)
(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true
begin_new_exec()
me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
to_kthread(p)
WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT*
Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.
Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.
Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().
