[Devel] [PATCH] s390 qeth: Convert to use the kthread API

[Eric W. Biederman]

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

This patch modifies the qeth_recover thread to be started
with kthread_run not a combination of kernel_thread and
daemonize.  Resulting in slightly simpler and more maintainable
code.
