This does seem to work, it no longer hangs on boot in my setup. This is
obviously only a very superficial test.
The new location of this check seems weird, it's not clear why it
should be on an else path. Perhaps it should be moved to right before
where current_thread_info()->flags is fetched again?
The issue seems like it would affect arm64 as well.
If the purpose is hardening against buggy kernel code doing bad set_fs
calls shouldn't this flag also be checked before looking at
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and calling schedule()?
