kthread: add kthread_stop_put

Browse Source 
Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task
struct.  Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop()
followed by put_task_struct().

Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't
return the result of kthread_stop().
