Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] vhost: Add a new parameter to allow user select kthread
The vhost now uses vhost_task and workers as a child of the owner thread.
While this aligns with containerization principles,it confuses some legacy
userspace app, Therefore, we are reintroducing kthread API support.
Introduce a new parameter to enable users to choose between
kthread and task mode. This will be exposed by module_param() later.
