Subject: [V2 PATCH] kthread_work: Make lockdep happy

spinlock in kthread_worker and wait_queue_head in kthread_work
both should be lockdep sensible.
So change the interface to make it suiltable for CONFIG_LOCKDEP.

Changes from V1:
*According to Tejun, kthread_worker could be defined on stack,
So introduce DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORKER_ONSTACK.
*Change wrong setting to kthread_work->task. Thanks Adny for
pointing it.
*including some minor issue.

BTW, only passed build.
