Check for bad pointer that may result because of kthread_create failure. This check is needed since the gserial setup callback function (gs_console_setup()) is only freeing the info->con_buf in case of kthread_create failure which will result into bad info->console_thread pointer. Without checking info->console_thread pointer validity in the gserial_console_exit() function, before calling kthread_stop(), the rmmod will generate Kernel Oops.
