fork/vm: Move common PF_IO_WORKER behavior to new flag
This adds a new flag, PF_USER_WORKER, that's used for behavior common to to both PF_IO_WORKER and users like vhost which will use a new helper instead of create_io_thread because they require different behavior for operations like signal handling. The common behavior PF_USER_WORKER covers is the vm reclaim handling. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Microsoft) <brauner@kernel.org>
