From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@xxxxxx> commit 7b2666ce445c700b8dcee994da44ddcf050a0842 upstream. When removing the adt7470 module, a warning might be printed: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffffa006052b>] adt7470_update_thread+0x7b/0x130 [adt7470] This happens because adt7470_update_thread() can leave the kthread in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state when the kthread is being stopped before the call of set_current_state(). Since kthread_exit() might sleep in exit_signals(), the warning is printed. Fix that by using schedule_timeout_interruptible() and removing the call of set_current_state(). This causes TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to be set after kthread_should_stop() which might cause the kthread to exit.
