Subject: [PATCH 2/5] kernel: Add kernel_clone_fns function to setup task

The io_uring code will set it's worker threads's name with a
iou-sqd/iou-wrk prefix and then either the task's pid or the task's
parent's pid. The kthread code will set the name to whatever the caller
decides. To set these names they have come up with different approaches.

This patch adds a callout to setup a kthread or io_uring worker's
internal struct and/or set the task's coomm.
