    init: Deal with the init process being a user mode process · 68d85f0a

    It is silly for user_mode_thread to leave PF_KTHREAD set
    on the resulting task.  Update the init process so that
    it does not care if PF_KTHREAD is set or not.
    
    Ensure do_populate_rootfs flushes all delayed fput work by calling
    task_work_run.  In the rare instance that async_schedule_domain calls
    do_populate_rootfs synchronously it is possible do_populate_rootfs
    will be called directly from the init process.  At which point fput
    will call "task_work_add(current, ..., TWA_RESUME)".  The files on the
    initramfs need to be completely put before we attempt to exec them
    (which is before the code enters userspace).  So call task_work_run
    just in case there are any pending fput operations.
