fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling

Browse Source 
Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().
