The almost-consensus of the various mailing list posts I read about how to
properly create a truly user-process independent kernel thread was that
'daemonize()' doesn't really completely sever a kernel thread from it's
user-process parent, and the only way to be sure was to use schedule_task()
to make sure the thread's parent was keventd.
