From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fbb3485f1f931102d8ba606f1c28123f5b48afa3 ] We need to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before calling kthread_should_stop(). Otherwise, kthread_stop() might see that the pccardd thread is still in TASK_RUNNING state and fail to wake it up. Additionally, we only need to set the state back to TASK_RUNNING if kthread_should_stop() breaks the loop.
