staging: usbip: fix the usage of kthread_stop()
stub_shutdown_connection() and vhci_shutdown_connection() use task_is_dead() before kthread_stop(). This buys nothing and wrong. kthread_stop() is fine even if this thread is dead. However, if it is dead nothing protects this task_struct, we shouldn't touch this memory. Change the code to do the necessary get_task_struct/put_task_struct. This patch assumes that - xxx_shutdown_connection() is always called, so we can't leak the task_struct. - kthread_stop_put() can't be called twice on the same task.
