------------------------------------------------------
Subject: s390/net/lcs: convert to the kthread API
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Use kthread_run to start the lcs kernel threads not a combination of
kernel_thread and daemonize. This makes the code slightly simpler and more
maintainable.
