kthread: allow to call __kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args

Browse Source 
kthread_create_on_node() implements a bunch of logic to create the
kthread.  It is already called by kthread_create_on_cpu().

We are going to extend the kthread worker API and will need to call
kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args there.

This patch does only a refactoring and does not modify the existing
behavior.
