audit: cleanup prune_tree_thread

We can use kthread_run instead of kthread_create+wake_up_process for creating the thread. We do not need to set the task state to TASK_RUNNING after schedule(), the process is in that state already. And we do not need to set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE when not doing schedule() as we set the state to TASK_RUNNING immediately afterwards.
