[PATCH 16/28] sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification

[stable-bot for Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com>]

Commit: 6cdd5199daf0cb7b0fcc8dca941af08492612887 upstream
Author: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com>
AuthorDate: Mon Oct 4 17:03:18 2010 -0700

To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether
softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context.
Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose.

As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the
infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along
with some other state fields.
