A reliable way for userspace to check if a msg is from kernel
- IPC_FLG_MSG_FROM_KERNEL status flag is returned to userspace if the receive was satisfied by s message which was sent by the kernel on behalf of a process. This perfectly reliale information. - MF_SENDING_FROM_KERNEL flag added to processes to be able to set IPC_FLG_MSG_FROM_KERNEL when finishing receive if the receiver wasn't ready to receive immediately. - PM is changed to use this information to confirm that the scheduling messages are indeed from the kernel and not faked by a process. PM uses sef_receive_status() - get_work() is removed from PM to make the changes simpler
