fcoe: convert to kworker

Browse source 
The driver creates its own per-CPU threads which are updated based on
CPU hotplug events. It is also possible to use kworkers and remove some
of the kthread infrastrucure.

The code checked ->thread to decide if there is an active per-CPU
thread. By using the kworker infrastructure this is no longer
possible (or required). The thread pointer is saved in `kthread' instead
of `thread' so anything trying to use thread is caught by the
compiler. Currently only the bnx2fc driver is using struct fcoe_percpu_s
and the kthread member.

After a CPU went offline, we may still enqueue items on the "offline"
CPU. This isn't much of a problem. The work will be done on a random
CPU. The allocated crc_eof_page page won't be cleaned up. It is probably
expected that the CPU comes up at some point so it should not be a
problem. The crc_eof_page memory is released of course once the module
is removed.

This patch was only compile-tested due to -ENODEV.
