kthread: allow to call __kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args

Browse source 
kthread_create_on_node() implements a bunch of logic to create the
kthread.  It is already called by kthread_create_on_cpu().

We are going to extend the kthread worker API and will need to call
kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args there.

This patch does only a refactoring and does not modify the existing
behavior.

* If thread is going to be bound on a particular cpu, give its node
* in @node, to get NUMA affinity for kthread stack, or else give NUMA_NO_NODE.
* When woken, the thread will run @threadfn() with @data as its

* standalone thread for which no one will call kthread_stop(), or
