[PATCH 07/12] kthread: to_live_kthread() needs try_get_task_stack()

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

get_task_struct(tsk) no longer pins tsk->stack so all users of
to_live_kthread() should do try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to protect
"struct kthread" which lives on kthread's stack.

TODO: Kill to_live_kthread(), perhaps we can even kill "struct kthread" too,
and rework kthread_stop(), it can use task_work_add() to sync with the exiting
kernel thread.
