MFC 295418,295419:
Fix hangs or panics when misbehaved kernel threads return from their
main function.

295418:
Mark proc0 as a kernel process via the P_KTHREAD flag.

All other kernel processes have this flag set and all threads in proc0
(including thread0) have the similar TDP_KTHREAD flag set.

295419:
Call kthread_exit() rather than kproc_exit() for a premature kthread exit.

Kernel threads (and processes) are supposed to call kthread_exit() (or
kproc_exit()) to terminate.  However, the kernel includes a fallback in
fork_exit() to force a kthread exit if a kernel thread's "main" routine
returns.  This fallback was added back when the kernel only had processes
and was not updated to call kthread_exit() instead of kproc_exit() when
threads were added to the kernel.

This mistake was particularly exciting when the errant thread belonged to
proc0.  Due to the missing P_KTHREAD flag the fallback did not kick in
and instead tried to return to userland via whatever garbage was in the
trapframe.  With P_KTHREAD set it tried to terminate proc0 resulting in
other amusements.
