[PATCH] kthread: update loop.c to use kthread
Update loop.c to use a kthread instead of a deprecated kernel_thread for loop devices. [akpm@osdl.org: don't change the thread's name] Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
