      kthread: fix boot hang (regression) on MIPS/OpenRISC · 2c2c5037
      Vegard Nossum authored
      commit b0f5a8f3 upstream.
      
      This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dc where I didn't notice
      that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
      NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
      
      We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
      is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
      
      Review notes:
      
       - As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
         copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
         architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
      
       - After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
         p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
      
       - It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
         NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
         set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
         4d6501dc.
      
      Fixes: 4d6501dc ("kthread: Fix use-after-free if kthread fork fails")
