kthread: Fix use-after-free if kthread fork fails

commit 4d6501dce079c1eb6bf0b1d8f528a5e81770109e upstream.

If a kthread forks (e.g. usermodehelper since commit 1da5c46fa965) but
fails in copy_process() between calling dup_task_struct() and setting
p->set_child_tid, then the value of p->set_child_tid will be inherited
from the parent and get prematurely freed by free_kthread_struct().

    kthread()
     - worker_thread()
        - process_one_work()
        |  - call_usermodehelper_exec_work()
        |     - kernel_thread()
        |        - _do_fork()
        |           - copy_process()
        |              - dup_task_struct()
        |                 - arch_dup_task_struct()
        |                    - tsk->set_child_tid = current->set_child_tid // implied
        |              - ...
        |              - goto bad_fork_*
        |              - ...
        |              - free_task(tsk)
        |                 - free_kthread_struct(tsk)
        |                    - kfree(tsk->set_child_tid)
        - ...
        - schedule()
           - __schedule()
              - wq_worker_sleeping()
                 - kthread_data(task)->flags // UAF

The problem started showing up with commit 1da5c46fa965 since it reused
->set_child_tid for the kthread worker data.

A better long-term solution might be to get rid of the ->set_child_tid
abuse. The comment in set_kthread_struct() also looks slightly wrong.
