kthread: make kthread_create() killable
kthread: make kthread_create() killable

Any user process callers of wait_for_completion() except global init
process might be chosen by the OOM killer while waiting for completion()
call by some other process which does memory allocation.  See
CVE-2012-4398 "kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS" can happen.

When such users are chosen by the OOM killer when they are waiting for
completion() in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the system will be kept stressed
due to memory starvation because the OOM killer cannot kill such users.

kthread_create() is one of such users and this patch fixes the problem
for kthreadd by making kthread_create() killable - the same approach
used for fixing CVE-2012-4398.
