NAME
       reparent_to_kthreadd - Reparent the calling kernel thread to kthreadd

SYNOPSIS
       void reparent_to_kthreadd(void);

ARGUMENTS
       void
	   no arguments

DESCRIPTION
       If a kernel thread is launched as a result of a system call, or if it
       ever exits, it should generally reparent itself to kthreadd so it isn´t
       in the way of other processes and is correctly cleaned up on exit.

       The various task state such as scheduling policy and priority may have
       been inherited from a user process, so we reset them to sane values
       here.

       NOTE that reparent_to_kthreadd gives the caller full capabilities.
