[PATCH] nfs lockd reclaimer: Convert to kthread API

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Start the reclaimer thread using kthread_run instead
of a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize.
The small amount of signal handling code is also removed
as it makes no sense and is a maintenance problem to handle
signals in kernel threads.
