Perhaps the laundromat thread should be using msleep_interruptible()?

Using an interruptible sleep appears to prevent the thread from contributing 
to the load average, and has the happy side-effect of removing the up-to-1s delay 
when tearing down the tcon (since a7c01fa93ae, kthread_stop() will return 
early triggered by kthread_stop).
