vhost: Fix worker hangs due to missed wake up calls
We can race where we have added work to the work_list, but vhost_task_fn has passed that check but not yet set us into TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. wake_up_process will see us in TASK_RUNNING and just return. This bug was intoduced in commit f9010dbd ("fork, vhost: Use CLONE_THREAD to fix freezer/ps regression") when I moved the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to simplfy the code and avoid get_signal from logging warnings about being in the wrong state. This moves the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE back to before we test if we need to stop the task to avoid a possible race there as well. We then have vhost_worker set TASK_RUNNING if it finds work similar to before.
