[PATCH 5.4 34/65] kthread: save thread function

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 52782c92ac85c4e393eb4a903a62e6c24afa633f ]

It's handy to keep the kthread_fn just as a unique cookie to identify
classes of kthreads.  E.g. if you can verify that a given task is
running your thread_fn, then you may know what sort of type kthread_data
points to.

We'll use this in nfsd to pass some information into the vfs.  Note it
will need kthread_data() exported too.
