kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREAD

Kill PF_BORROWED_MM.  Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.

No functional changes yet.  But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.

oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm().  The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races.  With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:

	/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
	struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
	{
		if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
			return NULL;
		return tsk->mm;
	}

Note also ecard_task().  It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.
