Subject: powerpc/eeh: remove eeh_event_handler()->daemonize()

daemonize() is only needed when a user-space task does kernel_thread().

eeh_event_handler() thread is created by the worker kthread, and thus it
doesn't need the soon-to-be-deprecated daemonize().
For some reason I thought you were sending that directly to Linus, but
looking at your CC list that's obviously not the case :-) I'll send
them myself.

Cheers,
Ben.
