------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kthreads: move sched-realeted initialization from kthreadd context
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
kthreadd is the single thread which implements ths "create" request, move
sched_setscheduler/etc from create_kthread() to kthread_create() to
improve the scalability.
We should be careful with sched_setscheduler(), use _nochek helper.
