It enforces using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think
that we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be
hard to support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.

The original intention was allowing users to use a wrapper function
which sets up kthread attributes and then calls kthread_worker_fn().
That can be done by a work item too but is more cumbersome.  Just
wanted to note that.  Will keep reading on.

Thanks.
