DESCRIPTION

16       If a kernel thread is launched as a result of a system call, or if it
17       ever exits, it should generally reparent itself to kthreadd so it isn´t
18       in the way of other processes and is correctly cleaned up on exit.
19
20       The various task state such as scheduling policy and priority may have
21       been inherited from a user process, so we reset them to sane values
22       here.
23
24       NOTE that reparent_to_kthreadd gives the caller full capabilities.
