kthread: Don't use to_live_kthread() in kthread_stop()
kthread_stop() had to use to_live_kthread() simply because it was not possible to access kthread->exited after the exiting task clears task_struct->vfork_done. Now that to_kthread() is always valid, wake_up_process() + wait_for_completion() can be done ununconditionally. It's not an issue anymore if the task has already issued complete_vfork_done() or died. The exiting task can get the spurious wakeup after mm_release() but this is possible without this change too and is fine; do_task_dead() ensures that this can't make any harm. As a further enhancement this could be converted to task_work_add() later, so ->vfork_done can be avoided completely.
