[CIFS] Fix oops on failed cifs mount (in kthread_stop)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the cifs demultiplex thread wakes up and exits
(zeroing server->tsk) before kthread_stop is called, the
cifs_mount code could pass a null pointer to kthread_stop

Thanks to akpm, Dave Young and Shaggy for suggesting
earlier versions of this patch.
