[PATCH] uml: idle thread needn't take access to init_mm

Browse source 
Comparing this code which is the actual body of the arch-independent
cpu_idle(), it is clear that it's unnecessary to set ->mm and ->active_mm;
beyond that, a kernel thread is not supposed to have ->mm != NULL, only
active_mm.

This showed up because I used the assumption (which is IMHO valid) that kernel
thread have their ->mm == NULL, and it failed for this thread.
