Thank you very much. Eric and Andrew are already in the CC list, so
add Thomas now.

My brain is a little old-fashioned so I insisted that "a thread
without mm_struct should be a kernel thread" in the previous patch.
Unfortunately this makes Eric and Thomas unhappy, I'm very sorry for
that.

During the discussion of the previous patch I know I made some
mistakes about some basic concepts, but I also found the name
"user_mode_thread()" is somewhat confusing. I think rename it to
kmuser_thread() is better, because:
1, it identify init and umh as user threads;
2, it points out that init and umh are special user threads that run
in kernel mode before loading a user program.

Sorry for my rudeness again.
