[PATCH] ieee1394: nodemgr: do not spawn kernel_thread for sysfs rescan
nodemgr.c::fw_set_rescan() is used to re-run the driver core over nodemgr's representation of unit directories in order to initiate protocol driver probes. It is initiated via write access to one of nodemgr's sysfs attributes. The purpose is to attach drivers to units after switching a unit's ignore_driver attribute from 1 to 0. It is not really necessary to fork a kernel_thread for this job. The call to kernel_thread() can be eliminated to avoid the deprecated API and to simplify the code a bit.
