6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f8aa1b98ce40184521ed95ec26cc115a255183b2 ]
There is a race condition when a kthread finishes after the deadline and
before the call to kthread_stop(), which may lead to use after free.
