Subject: s390/scsi/zfcp_erp: partially convert to use the kthread API
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Modify zfcperp%s to be started with kthread_run not a combination of
kernel_thread, daemonize and siginitsetinv making the code slightly simpler
and more maintainable.
akpm: this driver needs to be taught about kthread_stop() and
kthread_should_stop(), too.
