kthread: update comment for __to_kthread

With commit 343f4c4 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init
and umh") and commit 753550e ("fork: Explicitly set PF_KTHREAD"), umh
task no longer have struct kthread and PF_KTHREAD flag.

Update the comment to describe what the current rules are to detect
is something is a kthread.
