exit/kthread: Move the exit code for kernel threads into struct kthread
The exit code of kernel threads has different semantics than the exit_code of userspace tasks. To avoid confusion and allow the userspace implementation to change as needed move the kernel thread exit code into struct kthread. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
