Attilio Rao a50e80dcdd - Fix the kthread_{suspend, resume, suspend_check}() locking.
In the current code, the locking is completely broken and may lead
  easilly to deadlocks. Fix it by using the proc_mtx, linked to the
  suspending thread, as lock for the operation.  Keep using the
  thread_lock for setting and reading the flag even if it is not entirely
  necessary (atomic ops may do it as well, but this way the code is more
  readable).
- Fix a deadlock within kthread_suspend().
  The suspender should not sleep on a different channel wrt the suspended
  thread, or, otherwise, the awaker should wakeup both. Uniform the
  interface to what the kproc_* counterparts do (sleeping on the same
  channel).
- Change the kthread_suspend_check() prototype.
  kthread_suspend_check() always assumes curthread and must only refer to
  it, so skip the thread pointer as it may be easilly mistaken.
  If curthread is not a kthread, the system will panic.
