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.
