[PATCH 05/32] arm64: copy_thread(): rename 'stk_sz' argument to 'kthread_arg'

[Alex Dowad <alexinbeijing@gmail.com>]

'stk_sz' is a misnomer: it is never used for a stack size. Rather, it is an
argument which is passed to the main function executed by a kernel thread, when
forking a new kthread. The most appropriate name is 'kthread_arg'.
