workqueue: don't clear cwq->thread until it exits
Pointed out by Srivatsa Vaddagiri. cleanup_workqueue_thread() sets cwq->thread = NULL and does kthread_stop(). This breaks the "if (cwq->thread == current)" logic in flush_cpu_workqueue() and leads to deadlock. Kill the thead first, then clear cwq->thread. workqueue_mutex protects us from create_workqueue_thread() so we don't need cwq->lock.
