kthread: Move prio/affinite change into the newly created thread
With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the following: | Chain exists of: | &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem | | Possible unsafe locking scenario: | | CPU0 CPU1 | ---- ---- | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&device->mutex); | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2); The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex. Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest thing to do. Move the priority reset to the start of the newly created thread.
