Create a function that just thaws kernel threads (not userspace), so
that TuxOnIce can use it when allocating storage to bmap the space
obtained, without having the potential for significant changes in the
characteristics of an image (which would make preparing an image even
more of an iterative process than it can be now). We also
thaw_kernel_threads when seeking to free memory.
