Subject: [PATCH] macintosh/adb: Convert to the kthread API

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

This patch modifies the startup of kadbprobe to use
kthread_run instead of scheduling a work event which
later calls kernel_thread and in the thread calls
daemonize and blocks signals.  kthread_run is simpler
and more maintainable.

The variable pid_t adb_probe_task_pid is replaced by
a struct task_struct variable named adb_probe_task.
Which works equally well with for testing if the current
process is the adb_probe thread, does not get confused
in the presence of a pid namespace and is easier to
compare against current as it is the same type.

The result is code that is slightly simpler and easier
to maintain.
