[PATCH v5 4/6] vhost: Add worker related functions to support kthread

[Cindy Lu <lulu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Restore the previously removed functions kthread_wakeup and
kthread_stop, and add two new function pointers to wake up and stop
the workers. The function vhost_worker_create will initialize these
pointers based on the value of inherit_owner.

The functions vhost_worker_queue() and vhost_worker_destroy() will
use the function pointer in vhost_worker, which is initialized
according to the inherit_owner value.
