I don't like the kernel_worker name, that implies it's always giving you
a kernel thread or kthread. That's not the io_uring use case, it's
really just a thread off the original task that just happens to never
exit to userspace.

Can we do a better name? At least io_thread doesn't imply that.

Also I do think this deserves a bit more commit message, there's really
nothing in here.
