    Bluetooth: Fix hidp disconnect deadlocks and lost wakeup · 7bb59df8
    Peter Hurley authored
    Partial revert of commit aabf6f89
    
    . When the hidp session thread
    was converted from kernel_thread to kthread, the atomic/wakeups
    were replaced with kthread_stop. kthread_stop has blocking semantics
    which are inappropriate for the hidp session kthread. In addition,
    the kthread signals itself to terminate in hidp_process_hid_control()
    - it cannot do this with kthread_stop().
    
    Lastly, a wakeup can be lost if the wakeup happens between checking
    for the loop exit condition and setting the current state to
    TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. (Without appropriate synchronization mechanisms,
    the task state should not be changed between the condition test and
    the yield - via schedule() - as this creates a race between the
    wakeup and resetting the state back to interruptible.)
