kthread_worker API is built on top of kthreads. It means one more
lock, one more layer to deal with.

If anyone wants to propose workqueues or kthread_worker API, please,
come up with a code and proof that it makes things easier.

It is fine to mention this possibility. It is fine to consider it.
It is fine to keep it in mind. But I do not want to spent too much
time on theoretic discussions at the moment. We have a code now.
John has spent non-trivial time on it. Let's concentrate
on review.

Best Regards,
Petr
