exit: Implement kthread_exit
The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications. The low byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal. While kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function exit status like -EPERM. Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
