From: Tiwei Bie <tiwei.btw at antgroup.com>
Currently, initial_thread_cb() temporarily disables kmalloc when
it invokes the callback, allowing the callback to bypass kmalloc.
This is unnecessary for the current users of initial_thread_cb(),
and we should avoid memory allocations that are not under the
control of the UML kernel. Therefore, let's stop temporarily
disabling kmalloc in initial_thread_cb().
