Subject: net: pktgen: fix race between pktgen_thread_worker() and kthread_stop()
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fecdf8be2d91e04b0a9a4f79ff06499a36f5d14f ]
pktgen_thread_worker() is obviously racy, kthread_stop() can come
between the kthread_should_stop() check and set_current_state().
