knfsd: convert knfsd to kthread API

This patch is rather large, but I couldn't figure out a way to break it
up that would remain bisectable. It does several things:

- change svc_thread_fn typedef to better match what kthread_create expects
- change svc_pool_map_set_cpumask to be more kthread friendly. Make it
  take a task arg and and get rid of the "oldmask"
- have svc_set_num_threads call kthread_create directly
- eliminate __svc_create_thread
