THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case. This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the executable file. This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve() directly. But fixing would be better.
