kthread:move-sched-realeted-initialization-from-kthreadd-context

kthreadd is the single thread which implements ths "create" request, move
sched_setscheduler/etc from create_kthread() to kthread_create() to
improve the scalability.

We should be careful with sched_setscheduler(), use _nochek helper.
