The alien thread was a solution for reactor stalls caused by indivisible
password‑hashing tasks (scylladb/scylladb#24524). However, because
there is only one alien thread, overall hashing throughput was reduced
(see, e.g., scylladb/scylla-enterprise#5711). To address this,
the alien‑thread solution is reverted, and a hashing implementation
with yielding will be introduced later in this patch series.
This reverts commit 9574513ec1.
