kill do_each_thread()

Browse source 
Eric has pointed out that we still have 3 users of do_each_thread().
Change them to use for_each_process_thread() and kill this helper.

There is a subtle change, after do_each_thread/while_each_thread g == t ==
&init_task, while after for_each_process_thread() they both point to
nowhere, but this doesn't matter.

> Why is for_each_process_thread() better than do_each_thread()?

Say, for_each_process_thread() is rcu safe, do_each_thread() is not.

And certainly

	for_each_process_thread(p, t) {
		do_something(p, t);
	}

looks better than

	do_each_thread(p, t) {
		do_something(p, t);
	} while_each_thread(p, t);

And again, there are only 3 users of this awkward helper left.  It should
have been killed years ago and in fact I thought it had already been
killed.  It uses while_each_thread() which needs some changes.
