Shamelessly steal softirq.c thread initialization method.

What is the problem here?

There is no problem in 4.9.  I did that for upstream, thought it might 
save someone a minute or two.

I see. The subject says RT so I assumed it is somehow RT related. But as

Yeah, RT only, it adds the thread and soon to be obsolete hotplug bits.
