Subject: [PATCH V9 1/8] fork: Make IO worker options flag based

This patchset adds a couple new options to kernel_clone_args for the vhost
layer which is going to work like PF_IO_WORKER but will differ enough that
we will need to add several fields to kernel_clone_args. This patch moves
us to a flags based approach for these types of users.
