commit d005f8c658 upstream.
A detach hung is possible when a race occurs between the detach process
and the ubi background thread. The following sequences outline the race:
ubi thread: if (list_empty(&ubi->works)...
ubi detach: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags)
=> by kthread_stop()
wake_up_process()
=> ubi thread is still running, so 0 is returned
ubi thread: set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
schedule()
=> ubi thread will never be scheduled again
ubi detach: wait_for_completion()
=> hung task!
To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set the
task state, so the ubi thread will either see the stop bit and exit or
the task state is reset to runnable such that it isn't scheduled out
indefinitely.
