x86/process: Check PF_KTHREAD and not current->mm for kernel threads

Browse source 
commit 12f7764ac6 upstream.

switch_fpu_finish() checks current->mm as indicator for kernel threads.
That's wrong because kernel threads can temporarily use a mm of a user
process via kthread_use_mm().

Check the task flags for PF_KTHREAD instead.
