[PATCH] kthread: convert loop.c to kthread
Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread. This patch simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous submission on both emulated x86 and s390. Changes since last submission: switched to using a rather simple loop based on wait_event_interruptible. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
