This is the third patchset to fix the use-after-free problem in lockd, and to convert lockd to use the kthread API instead of kernel_thread. The main change from the last patchset is the elimination of the svc_create_kthread helper function, and having lockd_up call kthread_run directly. I've also made some changes to the function prototype for the lockd function to eliminate the need for casting the function pointer.
Tested against the reproducer I have for the main issue (detailed in patch #7). As always, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
