[PATCH] kthread: convert loop.c to kthread

Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread.  This patch
simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous
submission on both emulated x86 and s390.

Changes since last submission:
switched to using a rather simple loop based on
wait_event_interruptible.
