Staging: usbip: vhci-hcd: Do not kill already dead RX/TX kthread
When unbinding a device on the host which was still attached on the client, I got a NULL pointer dereference on the client. This turned out to be due to kthread_stop() being called on an already dead kthread. Here is how I was able to reproduce the problem: server:# usbip bind -b 1-2 client:# usbip attach -h server -b 1-2 server:# usbip unbind -b 1-2 This patch fixes the problem by checking the kthread before attempting to kill it, as it is done on the opposite side in stub_shutdown_connection().
