ntb_perf: Improve thread handling to increase robustness
This commit accomplishes a few things:
1) Properly prevent multiple sets of threads from running at once using
a mutex. Lots of race issues existed with the thread_cleanup.
2) The mutex allows us to ensure that threads are finished before
tearing down the device or module.
3) Don't use kthread_stop when the threads can exit by themselves, as
this is counter-indicated by the kthread_create documentation. Threads
now wait for kthread_stop to occur.
4) Writing to the run file now blocks until the threads are complete.
The test can then be safely interrupted by a SIGINT.
Also, while I was at it:
5) debugfs_run_write shouldn't return 0 in the early check cases as this
could cause debugfs_run_write to loop undesirably.
