From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

This patch modifies the startup of krxtimod, krxiod, and krxsecd
to use kthread_run instead of a combination of kernel_thread
and daemonize making the code slightly simpler and more maintainable.

In addition since by default all signals are ignored when delivered
to a kernel thread the code to flush signals has been removed.
