sched/wait: Fix a kthread race with wait_woken()
There is a race between kthread_stop() and the new wait_woken() that can result in a lack of progress. CPU 0 | CPU 1 | rfcomm_run() | kthread_stop() ... | if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)) | | set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP) | wake_up_process() wait_woken() | wait_for_completion() set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE) | if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN) | schedule_timeout() | | After which both tasks will wait.. forever. Fix this by having wait_woken() check for kthread_should_stop() but only for kthreads (obviously).
