Honestly, this is just ugly. I think it would be saner if ext4_stop_mmpd()
did:

void ext4_stop_mmpd(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi)
{
	struct task_struct *tsk;

	mutex_lock(&sbi->s_mmp_lock);
	tsk = sbi->s_mmp_tsk;
	if (tsk) {
		sbi->s_mmp_tsk = NULL;
		get_task_struct(tsk);
	}
     	mutex_unlock(&sbi->s_mmp_lock);
	if (tsk) {
		kthread_stop(tsk);
		put_task_struct(k);
	}
}

And you leave freeing of 'bh' to exit path from kmmpd() which can also use
normal locking scheme for zeroing s_mmp_tsk now.

That being said for this scheme spinlock is enough, you don't need a mutex
for s_mmp_lock.
