Q: wait_task_inactive() and !CONFIG_SMP && CONFIG_PREEMPT

From: Oleg Nesterov

Without CONFIG_SMP wait_task_inactive() is noop, this doesn't look right.
Shouldn't we also take CONFIG_PREEMPT into account?

Not that it really matters, just curious. kthread_bind() itself could be
noop without CONFIG_SMP. ptrace_check_attach() shouldn't have real problems,
but still.


Also, the !SMP version of wait_task_inactive() always returns 1, this
doesn't conform to the comment near kernel/sched.c:wait_task_inactive().

Oleg.
