workqueue: don't clear cwq->thread until it exits

Pointed out by Srivatsa Vaddagiri.

cleanup_workqueue_thread() sets cwq->thread = NULL and does kthread_stop().
This breaks the "if (cwq->thread == current)" logic in flush_cpu_workqueue()
and leads to deadlock.

Kill the thead first, then clear cwq->thread. workqueue_mutex protects us
from create_workqueue_thread() so we don't need cwq->lock.
