sched/wait: Fix a kthread race with wait_woken()



There is a race between kthread_stop() and the new wait_woken() that
can result in a lack of progress.

CPU 0                                    | CPU 1
                                         |
rfcomm_run()                             | kthread_stop()
  ...                                    |
  if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP))    |
                                         |   set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
                                         |   wake_up_process()
    wait_woken()                         |   wait_for_completion()
      set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE)   |
      if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN)                |
        schedule_timeout()               |
                                         |

After which both tasks will wait.. forever.

Fix this by having wait_woken() check for kthread_should_stop() but
only for kthreads (obviously).
