gfs2: Flag a withdraw if init_threads() fails
Interrupting mount with ^C quickly enough can cause the kthread_run() calls in gfs2's init_threads() to fail and the error path leads to a deadlock on the s_umount rwsem. The abridged chain of events is: [mount path] get_tree_bdev() sget_fc() alloc_super() down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING); [acquired] gfs2_fill_super() gfs2_make_fs_rw() init_threads() kthread_run() ( Interrupted ) [Error path] gfs2_gl_hash_clear() flush_workqueue(glock_workqueue) wait_for_completion() [workqueue context] glock_work_func() run_queue() do_xmote() freeze_go_sync() freeze_super() down_write(&sb->s_umount) [deadlock] In freeze_go_sync() there is a gfs2_withdrawn() check that we can use to make sure freeze_super() is not called in the error path, so add a gfs2_withdraw_delayed() call when init_threads() fails.
