[PATCH] cpci_hotplug: Convert to use the kthread API

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> - unquoted

kthread_run replaces the kernel_thread and  daemonize calls
during thread startup.

Calls to signal_pending were also removed as it is currently
impossible for the cpci_hotplug thread to receive signals.
