In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kthread: unpark only parked kthread

Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.

However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.

As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:

	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at kernel/kthread.c:525 __kthread_bind_mask kernel/kthread.c:525

Fix this with skipping unecessary unparking while stopping a kthread.
