Rework so all the ksft_exit_*() functions have attribue '__attribute__((noreturn))' so the compiler knows that there wont be
won't be
any return from the function. That said, without '__attribute__((noreturn))' the compiler warns about the above issue since it thinks that it will get back from the ksft_exit_skip() function, which it wont. Cleaning up the callers that rely on ksft_exit_*() return code, since the functions ksft_exit_*() have never returned anything.
