From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> commit 618f003199c6188e01472b03cdbba227f1dc5f24 upstream. static int kthread(void *_create) will return -ENOMEM or -EINTR in case of internal failure or kthread_stop() call happens before threadfn call. To prevent fancy error checking and make code more straightforward we moved all cleanup code out of kmmpd threadfn. Also, dropped struct mmpd_data at all. Now struct super_block is a threadfn data and struct buffer_head embedded into struct ext4_sb_info.
