Maybe it makes sense to add kthread_clone (in addition to
kthread_create) that would do what you suggest?
If yes, any hints on an implementation?

I think that's called kernel_thread() see
kernel/kthread.c:create_kthread().

Well, strictly speaking kernel_thread() doesn't create the kernel thread.
Unless the caller is the kernel thread. And daemonize() is deprecated.
kernel_thread() just forks the CLONE_VM + flags child.
