kthread: add kthread_destroy_worker()

Browse Source 
The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly.
This function does the same plus it frees the kthread_worker struct
in one call.

It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that
allocates struct kthread_worker.
