Shaohua Li e10237cc76 kthread: zero the kthread data structure
kthread() could bail out early before we initialize blkcg_css (if the
kthread is killed very early. Please see xchg() statement in kthread()),
which confuses free_kthread_struct. Instead of moving the blkcg_css
initialization early, we simply zero the whole 'self' data structure,
which doesn't sound much overhead.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
