[Devel] [PATCH] sas_scsi_host: Convert to use the kthread API

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com> - unquoted

This patch modifies the sas scsi host thread startup
to use kthread_run not kernel_thread and deamonize.
kthread_run is slightly simpler and more maintainable.
