[PATCH V4 8/8] vhost: use kernel_worker to check RLIMITs and inherit v2 cgroups

[Mike Christie]

For vhost workers we use the kthread API which inherit's its values from
and checks against the kthreadd thread. This results in cgroups v2 not
working and the wrong RLIMITs being checked. This patch has us use the
kernel_copy_process function which will inherit its values/checks from the
thread that owns the device.
