[ 10/20] workqueue: exit rescuer_thread() as TASK_RUNNING

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Galbraith <mgalbraith@suse.de>

commit 412d32e6c98527078779e5b515823b2810e40324 upstream.

A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
off, never to be seen again.  In the case where this occurred, an exiting
thread hit reiserfs homebrew conditional resched while holding a mutex,
bringing the box to its knees.
