kthread: move sched-realeted initialization from kthreadd context
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. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: "Eric W.
