      also detach the threads.
      
      Otherwise we'll leave them around as zombies, waiting for them
      to be picked up by their parent. Which might be the execve()
      thread itself, causing a deadlock.

      [PATCH] Fix block layer bug handling of partial bvec completion · 176a9075
      Jens Axboe authored
      Noted by Sean Estabrooks:
      
      There is a bug in "ll_rw_blk.c" handling partial bvec submissions.
      For whatever reason the floppy driver was triggering it more than
      other users (most likely because most other devices tend to be able
      to always complete a full request in one go).
      
      Fixed by updating the proper bio vector index entry.
