Kthread worker is a single thread workqueue which can be used in cases
where specific kthread association is necessary, for example, when it
should have RT priority or be assigned to certain cgroup.
This change implements Linux v4.9 interface which mostly hides kthread
internals from users thus allowing to use ordinary taskqueue(9) KPI.
As kthread worker prohibits enqueueing of already pending or canceling
tasks some minimal changes to taskqueue(9) were done.
taskqueue_enqueue_flags() was added to taskqueue KPI which accepts extra
flags parameter. It contains one or more of the following flags:
TASKQUEUE_FAIL_IF_PENDING - taskqueue_enqueue_flags() fails if the task
is already scheduled to execution. EEXIST is returned and the
ta_pending counter value remains unchanged.
TASKQUEUE_FAIL_IF_CANCELING - taskqueue_enqueue_flags() fails if the
task is in the canceling state and ECANCELED is returned.
