Subject: [PATCH 1/5] SUNRPC: spin svc_rqst initialization to its own function

Move the initialzation in __svc_create_thread that happens prior to
thread creation to a new function. Export the function to allow
services to have better control over the svc_rqst structs.

Also rearrange the rqstp initialization to prevent NULL pointer
dereferences in svc_exit_thread in case allocations fail.
