This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout to the registerer. Signed-off-by:
