SUNRPC: change how svc threads are asked to exit.

svc threads are currently stopped using kthread_stop().  This requires
identifying a specific thread.  However we don't care which thread
stops, just as long as one does.

So instead, set a flag in the svc_pool to say that a thread needs to
die, and have each thread check this flag instead of calling
kthread_should_stop().  The first thread to find and clear this flag
then moves towards exiting.

This removes an explicit dependency on sp_all_threads which will make a
future patch simpler.
