the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() inculdes
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process().
In some cases, use kthread_run_on_cpu() directly instead of
kthread_create_on_node/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() or
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process() or
kthreadd_create/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() to simplify the code.

v1->v2:
*Remove cpu_to_node from kthread_create_on_cpu params.
*Updated the macro description comment.
