The behaviour of kthread_create_worker() was recently changed to align
with the one of kthread_create(). The kthread worker is created but not
awaken by default. This is to allow the use of kthread_affine_preferred()
and kthread_bind[_mask]() with kthread workers. In order to keep the
old behaviour and wake the kthread up, kthread_run_worker() must be
used. All the pre-existing users have been converted, except for UVC
that was introduced in the same merge window as the API change.
This results in hangs:
INFO: task UVCG:82 blocked for more than 491 seconds.
Tainted: G T

Call Trace:

Fix this with converting UVCG kworker to the new API.
