Does s/kmem_cache_zalloc/kzalloc/ really have anything to do with it?
Isn't it just the allocation synchronization logic?

Ok.  I hope you'll find something not too strange.  But if it takes long,
then probably we should just change utrace_init_task() to eagerly call
utrace_task_alloc() and let you work through other issues first.
