[PATCH] migration_thread() race fix
From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Noticed that migration_thread can examine "kthread_should_stop()?" without setting its state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE first. This can cause kthread_stop on that thread to block forever ... P.S - I assumed that having the task state set to TASK_INTERRUTIBLE while it is doing active_load_balance is fine. It seemed to be the case earlier also.
