Should not be required (TM): Both signal eating / stop checking and stop setting / signal generation happens under the BQL, thus the ordering must not make a difference here. Don't see where we could lose a signal. Maybe due to a subtle memory corruption that sets thread_kicked to non-zero, preventing the kicking this way.
