    kthread: Set *tdptr earlier in kproc_kthread_add()
    
    See commit ae77041e0714 ("kthread: Set *newtdp earlier in
    kthread_add1()") for details.  That commit was incomplete since
    g_init()'s first call to kproc_kthread_add() will cause
    kproc_kthread_add() to take the `*procptr == NULL` branch, which avoids
    kthread_create().
    
    To ensure that the thread pointer is initialized before the thread
    starts running, we have to start the kernel process with RFSTOPPED.
    We could perhaps go further and use RFSTOPPED only when tdptr != NULL,
    but it's probably better to have consistent behaviour.
