dm rq: clear kworker_task if kthread_run() returned an error
cleanup_mapped_device() calls kthread_stop() if kworker_task is non-NULL. Currently the assigned value could be a valid task struct or an error code (e.g -ENOMEM). Reset md->kworker_task to NULL if kthread_run() returned an erorr. Fixes: 7193a9defc ("dm rq: check kthread_run return for .request_fn request-based DM") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.8 Reported-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
