ring_buffer: Fix more races when terminating the producer in the benchmark
The commit b44754d8 ("ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately") added a hack into ring_buffer_producer() that set @kill_test when kthread_should_stop() returned true. It improved the situation a lot. It stopped the kthread in most cases because the producer spent most of the time in the patched while cycle. But there are still few possible races when kthread_should_stop() is set outside of the cycle. Then we do not set @kill_test and some other checks pass. This patch adds a better fix. It renames @test_kill/TEST_KILL() into a better descriptive @test_error/TEST_ERROR(). Also it introduces break_test() function that checks for both @test_error and kthread_should_stop(). The new function is used in the producer when the check for @test_error is not enough. It is not used in the consumer because its state is manipulated by the producer via the "reader_finish" variable. Also we add a missing check into ring_buffer_producer_thread() between setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule_timeout(). Otherwise, we might miss a wakeup from kthread_stop().
