Please, call this klp_check_and_switch_task() to make it clear
that it actually does the switch.
Sure.

I would prefer to be on the safe side and catch error codes that might
eventually appear in the future.

	case 0:
		/* success */
		break;
	case -EAGAIN:
		/* task_try_func() raced */
		break;
	default:
		pr_debug("%s: Unknown error code (%d) when trying to switch %s:%d\n",
			 __func__, ret, task->comm, task->pid);

 	}
Done.
