[PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: use kthread API
This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as569). It has been rediffed against a current tree. This patch converts usb-storage to use the kthread API for creating its control and scanning threads. The new code doesn't use kthread_stop because the threads need (or will need in the future) to exit asynchronously.
