GFS2: Flush the GFS2 delete workqueue before stopping the kernel threads
[ Upstream commit 1eb8d7387908022951792a46fa040ad3942b3b08 ]
Flushing the workqueue can cause operations to happen which might
call gfs2_log_reserve(), or get stuck waiting for locks taken by such
operations. gfs2_log_reserve() can io_schedule(). If this happens, it
will never wake because the only thing which can wake it is gfs2_logd()
which was already stopped.
This causes umount of a gfs2 filesystem to wedge permanently if, for
example, the umount immediately follows a large delete operation.
When this occured, the following stack trace was obtained from the
umount command
