staging/lustre/ptlrpc: Race between start and stop service threads
When ptlrpc_start_thread fails to create a new thread, it will
finalize and free a struct ptlrpc_thread created and used here.
Considering this, it can be a problem when ptlrpc_svcpt_stop_thread
is driven and handles the struct ptlrpc_thread right after or right
before failure of cfs_create_thread. Because this situation let
the both of ptlrpc_start_thread and ptlrpc_svcpt_stop_threads
access the freed ptlrpc_thread and cause OS panic. Or, it may
happen that ptlrpc_svcpt_stop_threads waits forever holding an
already-freed waitq.
This patch adds an error handling into ptlrpc_start_thread to fix
this problem.
