Subject: [PATCH] nfsv4 delegation: Convert to kthread API

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

To start the nfsv4-delegreturn thread this patch uses
kthread_run instead of a combination of kernel_thread
and daemonize.

In addition allow_signal(SIGKILL) is removed from
the expire delegations thread.
