set_thread_tidr can also return non-zero error values and will never
return '0'. So this condition should be 'if(rc > 0)' instead of 'if (!rc)'

Instead of adding a new syscall I think assiging a thread-id can be
better done by adding a new flag to the cxl_ioctl_start_work.flag
field and using one of the reserved fields to return the allocated tid
back to the user.
