powerpc: differentiate kthread from user kernel thread start
Kernel created user threads start similarly to kernel threads in that
they call a kernel function after first returning from _switch, so
they share ret_from_kernel_thread for this. Kernel threads never return
from that function though, whereas user threads often do (although some
don't, e.g., IO threads).
Split these startup functions in two, and catch kernel threads that
improperly return from their function. This is intended to make the
complicated code a little bit easier to understand.
