Andreas Gruenbacher fe4f7940d2 gfs2: Fix asynchronous thread destruction
The kernel threads are currently stopped and destroyed synchronously by
gfs2_make_fs_ro() and gfs2_put_super(), and asynchronously by
signal_our_withdraw(), with no synchronization, so the synchronous and
asynchronous contexts can race with each other.

First, when creating the kernel threads, take an extra task struct
reference so that the task struct won't go away immediately when they
terminate.  This allows those kthreads to terminate immediately when
they're done rather than hanging around as zombies until they are reaped
by kthread_stop().  When kthread_stop() is called on a terminated
kthread, it will return immediately.

Second, in signal_our_withdraw(), once the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE flag has
been cleared, wake up the logd and quotad wait queues instead of
stopping the logd and quotad kthreads.  The kthreads are then expected
to terminate automatically within short time, but if they cannot, they
will not block the withdraw.

For example, if a user process and one of the kthread decide to withdraw
at the same time, only one of them will perform the actual withdraw and
the other will wait for it to be done.  If the kthread ends up being the
one to wait, the withdrawing user process won't be able to stop it.
