daemonize() is only needed when a user-space task does kernel_thread().

eeh_event_handler() thread is created by the worker kthread, and thus
it doesn't need the soon-to-be-deprecated daemonize().

Forgot to mention... Please note that eeh_event_handler() is the last
caller of daemonize(), all other (ab)users are already fixed.
