The start_kthread() and stop_thread() code was not always called with the
interface_lock held. This means that the kthread variable could be
unexpectedly changed causing the kthread_stop() to be called on it when it
should not have been, leading to:

 while true; do
   rtla timerlat top -u -q & PID=$!;
   sleep 5;
   kill -INT $PID;
   sleep 0.001;
   kill -TERM $PID;
   wait $PID;
  done

Causing the following OOPS:

This is because it would mistakenly call kthread_stop() on a user space
thread making it "exit" before it actually exits.

Since kthreads are created based on global behavior, use a cpumask to know
when kthreads are running and that they need to be shutdown before
proceeding to do new work.

This was debugged by using the persistent ring buffer:

Note, locking was originally used to fix this, but that proved to cause too
many deadlocks to work around:
