We're seeing failures to mount because of a failure to start the allocator threads, which currently happens fairly late in the mount process, after walking all metadata, and kthread_create() fails if something has tried to kill the mount process, which is probably not what we want. This patch avoids this issue by creating, but not starting, the allocator threads when we preallocate all of our other in memory data structures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
