Restored the previous functions kthread_wakeup and kthread_stop.

nit: "Add back the previously removed"

Also add 2 new function pointer.

"Also add 2 new function pointers to wakeup and stop the workers."

The function vhost_worker_create
Will initializes this pointer based on the value of inherit_owner.

nit: s/Will/will

I would move here the comment included in the previous branch:
"If false we use kthreads and only attach to... "

Or move the entire comment block before the if.

We never read the return values of these functions, so either mark them both void or check their return value.

What about renaming in worker_wakeup and worker_stop?
Or even better since they are part of vhost_worker, just wakeup and stop.

Thanks,
Stefano
