staging: lustre: change sai_thread to sai_task.

Rather than allocating a ptlrpc_thread for the
stat-ahead thread, just use the task_struct provided
by kthreads directly.

As nothing ever waits for the sai_task, it must call do_exit()
directly rather than simply return from the function.
Also it cannot use kthread_should_stop() to know when to stop.

There is one caller which can ask it to stop so we need a simple
signaling mechanism.  I've chosen to set ->sai_task to NULL
when the thread should finish up.  The thread notices this and
cleans up and exits.
lli_sa_lock is used to avoid races between waking up the process
and the process exiting.
