Commit

  5ba2ffba13a1 ("sched: Fix CPU hotplug / tighten is_per_cpu_kthread()")

had to special-case the idle task when checking for per-CPU kthreads. This is
due to the idle task not having its own struct kthread, which is where we'd
store KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU.

From staring at Yejune's recent patch [1], it turns out the idle task is also
missing PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.

Patch 1 cleans this up, patch 2 is Yejune's v1 which depends on it.


Note: I remember seeing some patch(es) from Peter tackling this exact
problem, but I couldn't find them again.
