xfs: check kthread_should_stop() after the setting of task state
A umount hang is possible when a race occurs between the umount process and the xfsaild kthread. The following sequences outline the race: xfsaild: kthread_should_stop() => return false, so xfsaild continue umount: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags) => by kthread_stop() umount: wake_up_process() => because xfsaild is still running, so 0 is returned xfsaild: __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) xfsaild: schedule() => now, xfsaild will wait indefinitely umount: wait_for_completion() => and umount will hang To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set the task state, so the xfsaild will either see the stop bit and exit or the task state is reset to runnable by wake_up_process() such that it isn't scheduled out indefinitely and detects the stop bit at the next iteration.
