to simplify the code.

Pls check how this interacts with Mike Christie's patches.
Pls fix up the typo in the commit log.

doesn't this comment have any value anymore?

Hi Cai,

We probably don't need this patch since it's an API cleanup and
not fixing a bug. I'm replacing this code with the kernel_worker API
with this patch

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007214448.6282-9-michael.christie@oracle.com/

in this patchset;

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007214448.6282-1-michael.christie@oracle.com/

so the issue of using kthread_create + wake_up_process will be
gone shortly either way.
