This adds a new flag, PF_USER_WORKER, that's used for behavior common to
to both PF_IO_WORKER and users like vhost which will use a new helper
instead of create_io_thread because they require different behavior.

The common behavior PF_USER_WORKER covers is the initial frame and fpu
setup and the vm reclaim handling.
