Christian Brauner 3b5bbe798b pidfd: prevent creation of pidfds for kthreads
It's currently possible to create pidfds for kthreads but it is unclear
what that is supposed to mean. Until we have use-cases for it and we
figured out what behavior we want block the creation of pidfds for
kthreads.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
