[PATCH v9 07/12] kthread: Add kthread_destroy_worker()

The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly. This function drains the worker, stops it, and frees the kthread_worker struct in one call. It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that allocates struct kthread_worker. Also note that drain() correctly handles self-queuing works in compare with flush().
