Subject[PATCH 10/10] exit/kthread: Move the exit code for kernel threads into struct kthread
The exit code of kernel threads has different semantics than the
exit_code of userspace tasks. To avoid confusion and allow
the userspace implementation to change as needed move
the kernel thread exit code into struct kthread.
