Hello,

I would like to make cleaner kthread worker API and hide the definition

the API more secure.

This patch provides an API to check if the worker has been created
and hides the implementation details.
Maybe it'd be a better idea to make create_kthread_worker() allocate
and return pointer to struct kthread_worker?  You're adding
create/destroy interface anyway, it won't need a separate created
query function and the synchronization rules would be self-evident.

Thanks.
