Hi Cai,

We probably don't need this patch since it's an API cleanup and
not fixing a bug. I'm replacing this code with the kernel_worker API
with this patch

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007214448.6282-9-michael.christie@xxxxxxxxxx/

in this patchset;

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007214448.6282-1-michael.christie@xxxxxxxxxx/

so the issue of using kthread_create + wake_up_process will be
gone shortly either way.
