kthreads: simplify the startup synchronization
We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly. kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread() wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself can wake up the caller of kthread_create(). Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code. The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread() must do complete(&create->done).
