kthread: Make struct kthread kmalloc'ed
commit 23196f2e5f5d "kthread: Pin the stack via try_get_task_stack() /
put_task_stack() in to_live_kthread() function" is a workaround for the
fragile design of struct kthread being allocated on the task stack.
struct kthread in its current form should be removed, but this needs
cleanups outside of kthread.c.
As a first step move struct kthread away from the task stack by making it
kmalloc'ed. This allows to access kthread.exited without the magic of
trying to pin task stack and the try logic in to_live_kthread().
