3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit fb94a687d96c570d46332a4a890f1dcb7310e643 upstream.

Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread.

This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic
size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel
thread and data pointing to kernel space.
