I think so. I've posted a patch that you can test, which should force
the flags to be saved over switch_to(). I think the sanitisers are just
making it easier to see.

There is a seperate issue of passing complicated things to put_user()
as for security, the function may be executed with the user-space
protections turned off. I plan to raise this on the kernel list later
once I've done some more testing.
