If the worker thread is not woken due to a bio, then it is not woken at
all. This causes the hung task check to trigger. This occurs, for
instance, when no bios are submitted. Also when a delay of 0 is
configured, delay_bio() returns without waking the worker.
Prevent the hung task check from triggering by creating the thread with
kthread_run() instead of using kthread_create() directly.
Fixes: 70bbeb29fab0 ("dm delay: for short delays, use kthread instead of timers and wq")

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 reStructuredText 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.
